Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 46: Wildness in Despair

"It's impossible!" A man wearing glasses looked at the broken basket with narrowed eyes and sighed, "Will this kind of thing really happen in a junior high school level game?"

"It's impossible, it's already happened, isn't it?" A figure with a crew cut and bandages on his forehead and arms next to Squinting Eyes said with a hint of fear in his tone, "It's not surprising that this rude guy would do such a thing."

"Really? I have a feeling that some incredible monster will be unveiled in this junior high school competition~" Who else could be the one with those squinty eyes but Imayoshi Xiangyi.

"Tsk, freak genius or something like that." Hanamiya Makoto was trying to say something, but was stopped by Imakichi Shoichi's next words: "Really? I haven't seen whether the genius scholar is a bad guy or not, but you were almost beaten to death. The doctor shaved your head bald in order to sew up your wound."

"Next year, next year I will make them look bad!" Hanamiya Shin gritted his teeth. Yes, because in the previous violent conflict, Hanamiya Shin and the main players of Kiriki First High School were all knocked down by Kaneki Ken, which led to Kiriki First High School's failure in the first round of the selection this year.

"I can't control what happens to you next year. I've already quit the club." Imayoshi Xiang said with a smile, "I'll be going to high school next year. As an old teammate, I just hope you don't get beaten to death by Kaneki Ken on the court."

".When it comes to saying things that are annoying, I'm still not as good as you, Imayoshi!"

"Is this the lion of Teiko, Kaneki Ken?" At the other end of the stadium, Reiko Aida looked at Kaneki Ken who was looking around boredly on the sidelines and murmured, "I really want to observe his physical data up close."

"Hmm?" Aida Kagetora listened to his daughter's mumbling, silently pulled out a biubiu from under his clothes, and loaded it with a click, "Okay Reiko, Dad will kill him right away."

"Dad!" Aida Reiko was terrified, "Dad who will be sentenced!"

"Ahem." The childish Aida Katsuhiro put away his biubiu and sat upright again. "I advise you not to observe his data now. After you see it, you will feel that everyone you know is garbage."

Aida Katsutora paused, raised his head and recalled the past, "So, when you are young, you really can't meet too amazing people."

"Don't pretend to be deep at this time, Dad!" Aida Reiko couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Aida Katsutomo's hair.

"Okay, okay, stop it! Dad has some acquaintances in the basketball world, please give me some face!" Katsutora Aida wailed, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Damn it, how can we play this game!" The coach of Shibuya First Junior High School angrily threw the tactical board and pointed at the players beside him and said, "What a bullshit Big Three! The Big Three who were beaten by their opponents? I was right just now, you are all a bunch of scum!"

"Coach, they have tried very hard," Liu Wei stepped forward to persuade them, "After all, they have seen their strength."

"Don't you think I'm talking about you?" The coach glared at Liu Wei fiercely and said, "Look at how badly you've been beaten! And you still have the nerve to stand up and try to stop the fight! You incompetent bastard!"

Seeing the coach start to speak without thinking, Liu Wei also got angry. He rushed up and pushed the coach and cursed: "Iizuka Reki! Fuck you! You are a useless piece of shit who was abandoned by other schools. What right do you have to show off here? Don't you want to curse? I'm telling you, after today's game, this basketball club will either have you or me!"

"Alright, stop arguing!" Just when Shibuya No. 1 Middle School was about to break out in an internal quarrel, Hayama Kotaro, who could no longer bear it, stood up, walked up to Iizuka Reki, and grabbed his collar, "Coach, this is the last time I'm going to call you coach! How can we play basketball well with a bug like you! Now, shut up, or Keisuke, Liu Wei and I will all quit the club! Let's see who the school leaders will try to keep!"

"Okay, okay! I want to see what kind of performance you, Kotaro Hayama, can have in this game!" Seeing that the situation was not in his favor, Iizuka Reki left towards the locker room after saying some harsh words.

"Kotaro, you are too impulsive," Yamanaka Kazuhiko said worriedly, "The coach is very narrow-minded."

"What are you afraid of! Let's report this to the school leaders together! I don't believe that the school leaders will give up on us, the starters who have brought excellent results to the basketball team!" Liu Wei and Keisuke Kobayashi also stood up and said.

"Okay, what bad ideas have you all come up with!" Yamanaka Kazuhiko scolded, "Everyone sit down!"

After hearing the words from the team's always nice guy, everyone returned to their seats.

"That petty coach will definitely report this to the school leaders, so..." Yamanaka Kazuhiko lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, "I have decided to bear the consequences of this incident myself."

"No, Captain!" Everyone present was shocked and tried to persuade him.

"Everyone has their own responsibility! I will take the blame for the person I scolded!" Liu Wei stood up angrily, "I will never bow down to such a scumbag!"

"That's right, let's go too!" Hayama Kotaro and the other two also stood up and said.

"Everyone sit down!" Yamanaka Kazuhiko scolded, "If you guys go there for this matter, it will become a palace coup for the school leaders. Even if Iizuka Reki is fired, you will definitely be expelled from the basketball team along with them! The basketball team may even be cancelled!"

"I'm sorry, Captain." After calming down, everyone whispered with some regret.

"I love playing basketball. I really do." Looking at the juniors in front of him, Yamanaka Kazuhiko's eyes were red. "But I don't have the ability. I didn't make any contribution in the three years at Shibuya First Junior High School. After entering high school, I have to focus on my studies. But you are different. Kotaro, Keisuke, Daisuke, you are all very talented children, you are the future of Shibuya First Junior High School basketball team. I am an ordinary third-year captain, and I was going to quit the team. It's a good deal to be able to exchange for the future of Shibuya First Junior High School basketball team!"

"Captain!" Everyone in Shibuya First Middle School looked at Yamanaka Kazuhiko and their eyes turned red.

"To be honest, last year, under your leadership, Shibuya First Junior High School was able to reach the semi-finals of the county tournament. This was something I never dared to dream of." Tears were already flashing in Yamanaka Kazuhiko's eyes, and he bowed deeply to everyone, "I'm very happy, I'm really happy. So, Mina-san! Although we are indeed in a desperate situation right now, please, like me, bet on the last game of your basketball career and you must win!"

"Hi! Captain!" Everyone in Shibuya High School bowed to the ground. Men's feelings often don't need thousands of words, sometimes a look is a promise as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Beep~" At this moment, the referee blew the whistle, "Equipment replacement completed! The game continues!"

"Kaneki, look at what's wrong with them? Why are their eyes so red? Did they cry because we beat them? Did we hit them too hard?" Aomine Daiki said half-jokingly.

"Shut up, Aomine, don't you see that the look in their eyes is different?" Midorima Shintaro's eyes were stern, "The real game is probably just beginning now!"

"Midorima is right." Kaneki Ken said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what happened, it's better to be cautious. They say that the army of mourning will win, but we are the invincible lions who win every battle!" "Hi!" With Kaneki Ken as the leader, everyone in Teikou Middle School is also full of momentum. The two teams looked at each other from a distance, and the air between their sights seemed to be about to be ignited.

"Oh my, although I don't know what happened, I always feel my blood boiling inexplicably~" Although Imayoshi Xiangyi sounded relaxed, his frown betrayed his true thoughts.

"Tsk, facing the gap in talent, let alone drinking chicken soup, even injecting chicken blood will be useless." Hua Gong Zhen chewed gum and looked at the field bored.

"It seems that this match may still be played." Aida Katsutora said with an expression that said "this is quite interesting".

"But, can they withstand what Kaneki Ken says?" Reiko Aida looked at the people in Shibuya First Junior High School with some pity.

"This is what they have to face." Aida Katsuyori said seriously, "In competitive sports, being bad is the original sin. In a game, there will always be losers. It's just that cruel, Reiko."

"I understand dad."

There were many fans who knew about football in the audience and they started to cheer for Shibuya First Junior High School.

"What? It makes us look like villains in anime." Murasakibara Atsushi said somewhat unhappily.

"Relax, Murasakibara." Kaneki Ken's expression was very calm. "People always like to see the underdog's counterattack. This is why the king is always lonely. If this is the price of victory, then I am willing to accept it! Don't say they are excited today. Even if they are possessed by gods, I will beat them! Shibuya No. 1 Middle School is doomed to lose! Even Amaterasu can't help them, I say!"

With both sides desperate, the game started again, Shibuya Ichi Middle School had the ball. This time, the person who was responsible for dribbling the ball across half court was Yamanaka Kazuhiko.

"Shuzo, you're right. It's my bad luck." Looking at Nijimura Shuzo in front of him, Yamanaka Kazuhiko's expression became more relaxed than ever before. "You're really lucky. You're gifted, the top forward in junior high school, and your juniors are all outstanding."

"If you want to reminisce about the past, I'd like to treat you to ramen after the game, but not on the court." Nijimura Shuzo looked at Yamanaka Kazuhiko in front of him with a serious expression. For some reason, he actually felt a hint of threat from Yamanaka Kazuhiko - although it was very weak.

“Hey, Shuzo!” Yamanaka Kazuhiko’s expression suddenly changed, and he said with his eyes wide open, “I’ve been muddled in the basketball club for three years, but today, I absolutely don’t want to lose!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamanaka Kazuhiko moved and, at a speed he had never seen before, he broke through Nijimura Shuzo by half a body length.

"What is that?" Although it was only a flash, Nijimura Shuzo knew he was not mistaken. It was the shadow of a Chinese native dog.

Yamanaka Kazuhiko was ultimately limited by his talent and failed to completely break through Nijimura Shuzo, but he still attracted the attention of Midorima Shintaro. At this moment, Kobayashi Keisuke seized the opportunity and quickly ran to the empty space in the right corner, opened his hands and shouted, "Captain, ball!"

"Oh no!" Midorima Shintaro realized that he had missed someone. When he was about to twist his body to fill the position, a burly figure appeared at his side and blocked him. It was Liu Wei.

"Off-ball pick-and-roll?" Midorima Shintaro reacted quickly and avoided Liu Wei's pick-and-roll by changing his footsteps, but it still delayed some time. Keisuke Kobayashi successfully received the pass from Kazuhiko Yamanaka.

"Make it!!!!" On the bench of Shibuya First Junior High School, the first-year students were roaring at the top of their lungs.

"Ah! Just leave it to me!" Kobayashi Keisuke felt extremely calm inside. He saw the basketball slowly leaving his fingertips and perfectly avoiding the interference of Midorima Shintaro. With a swish, the basketball went into the net and the score came to 10:3.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Liu Wei and Kobayashi Keisuke clapped their hands excitedly and roared. The shadows of a silverback gorilla and a poisonous snake flashed behind them.

"This is." Shirogane Kozo looked at the situation on the field with his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he had discovered something, and was about to go to the workbench to call a timeout.

Ken Kaneki on the field also noticed what Shirogane Kozo did. He looked at Shirogane Kozo and slowly shook his head.

"Is it not necessary for the time being?" Shirogane Kozo thought to himself, determined to trust Kaneki Ken's judgment.

Seeing that the players of Shibuya No. 1 Middle School finally made a successful combination, the cheers from the sidelines suddenly became more enthusiastic.

"Shibuya! Shibuya! Shibuya!"

With the cheers from the audience on the sidelines, the players of Shibuya First Junior High School became even more powerful. Yamanaka Kazuhiko seemed to be burning out everything he had, biting Nijimura Shuzo like a mad dog, and finally succeeded in blocking Nijimura Shuzo's shot.

"Rebound!" Yamanaka Kazuhiko roared.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Daisuke Narumi seemed to be about to burst out with all his strength, and a shadow of a brown bear flashed above his head. He blocked the position of Murasakibara Atsushi under the basket, grabbed the rebound, and passed the ball to Kazuhiko Yamanaka. Kazuhiko Yamanaka carefully observed the situation on the court and passed the ball to Kotaro Hayama.

"Wow, you're quite energetic, little yellow-haired Hayama." Aomine Daiki smiled and teased Hayama Kotaro.

At this time, Kotaro Hayama was not bothered by the nickname given to him by Daiki Aomine, but was feeling the hints given by his body's instinct.

"Yeshan, the person opposite you is more talented than you." Yeshan Kotaro's eyes were empty, and he muttered to himself, "So, you must seize every opportunity!"

As the words fell, the momentum of Hayama Kotaro seemed to condense into a cheetah. He keenly caught the moment when Aomine Daiki came forward to press and change his center of gravity. With a bang, the ball flashed like lightning and broke through Aomine Daiki's defense. If you look closely at his hands, you can see that all five fingers are moving at the same time.

"Bang~Shua!" Behind Aomine Daiki, the sound of Hayama Kotaro scoring a goal came, and the score was 10:5.
"You're right, dark-skinned boy, I'm not a good shooter." Hayama Kotaro looked at Aomine Daiki, his eyes burning with flames, "But I'm the ace of Shibuya No. 1 High School, Hayama Kotaro!"
