Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 73 Alarming the Rich
"Coach, this is today's Tokyo Basketball Daily." Inside the gym of Izumi Shinkan High School, Ishii Shuichiro handed the newspaper to his coach, Seiji Iwashita, "Welcome back, coach.

"Oh, thank you." Iwashita Seiji put down the cup in his hand, took the newspaper and glanced at it, "What is the background of this Teiko Junior High School? How come they can win so many games in every match?"

"Coach, haven't you heard of Teikou Junior High School?" Ishii Shuichiro looked at Iwashita Seiji in surprise. "Teikou Junior High School has been in the limelight recently, especially Teikou's Kaneki Ken, who has scored more than 40 points in 5×5 in three consecutive games."

"Kaneki Ken?" Iwashita Seiji seemed to be thinking about something. "Shuichiro, please organize all the recent Teiko Junior High School game videos and send them to me."

"I'm ready, coach." Ishii Shuichiro said with a smile, "I guess all the high schools in Japan are waiting for Kaneki Ken now."

"Really?" Iwashita Seiji smiled and did not comment.

As Shuichiro Ishii said, now in Japan, almost all high schools are attracted by the dominant performance of Teiko Junior High School.

"We must get him! We must get Kaneki Ken!" In the principal's office of Mineo High School, the head coach of Mineo High School, Koichiro Domoto, excitedly threw the newspaper on the principal's desk. "Kaneki Ken is the absolute core I'm looking for! As a national-level powerhouse, only the best players can match us!"

"But..." Principal Souji Tobita said hesitantly, "Last year you said you wanted to recruit Zebei Yaoye in advance, at least after he won the national runner-up... Now Kaneki Ken... is indeed very impressive in terms of statistics, but you also know that this kind of ball-holding big core type of play is either all-round or nothing, and it also conflicts with Zebei Yaoye's attributes..."

"I won't make a mistake." Domoto Koichiro turned and walked out of the office, "Give the ball to Kaneki Ken, he will naturally know what to do. I will take care of recruiting Kaneki Ken, you just need to apply to the board of directors for a full scholarship."

……

"Hey, Kuroko-kun" In the cafeteria, Murasakibara Atsushi looked at Kuroko Tetsuya curiously, "What happened today? Why are you so happy?"

"Coach Sanada told me today that I performed very well in the practice match." Kuroko Tetsuya said with a smile, "There are still a few matches left. If everything goes well, I can participate in the national competition with Murasakihara, Aomine, and Kaneki."

"Oh, so fast?" Qingfeng Daihui was a little surprised, "Congratulations, Azhe, you entered the first team so quickly."

"Yes, Tetsuya." Akashi Seijuro also encouraged at the side, "You must do your best in the next few games. I look forward to fighting side by side with you."

"Sorry, I'm late." Kaneki Ken came late amid the conversations of several people, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

"Kuro-chin said that Coach Sanada praised his outstanding performance in the second team." Murasakibara Atsushi said excitedly, "It is said that he will be able to enter the first team soon."

"Oh, congratulations, Kuroko." Kaneki Ken looked at Kuroko Tetsuya with some surprise.

"Yes, from now on I can also see Heizi's crooked passing in the first team!" Qingfeng Daihui said excitedly, "Azhe, if you pass the ball to me specifically in the future, I can also become the scoring champion."

"Aomine, you should first consider that you always skip classes to watch Kuroko's games. How are you going to pass this hurdle of grades..." Kaneki Ken looked at Aomine Daiki with some amusement.

"Tsk, isn't it too early for this kind of thing..." Aomine Daiki said nonchalantly, "No one here knows how to pass the ball better than me. Anyway, I'm sure to be the scoring champion!"

"Idiot, we have to take the final exam before we can participate in the national competition." Midorima Shintaro was speechless, "Based on your current grades, it would be a miracle if you can enter the national competition."

"Ah?" Qingfeng Daiki's eyes widened, "Is that what you said?"

“Really, A-da…” Momoi Satsuki felt a headache looking at her childhood friend, “You should at least study hard when you come to school… How did you manage to always rank last in the tests…” “It doesn’t matter, at least Murasakibara…” Aomine Daiki looked around at everyone in annoyance, “At least I’m not the only one who can’t go…”

"Hey, Qingzi, don't involve me in this matter." Murasakibara Atsushi ate his lunch box slowly, "My grades are at least average, so I have no problem participating in the national competition."

"Could it be..." Aomine Daiki felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head, "Am I the only one..."

"Yes, only you." Kaneki Ken looked at Aomine Daiki with a gloating look, "Absence is not a big deal, it will be embarrassing without someone~ Come on, scoring king."

"Um, are you Kaneki Ken?" Just as everyone was making fun of Aomine Daiki, a middle-aged man with a calm temperament came up to them. It was Domoto Koichiro.

"It's me." Kaneki Ken put down his chopsticks and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am the coach of Mineou High School, Koichiro Domoto. Can we talk privately?" Koichiro Domoto said to Ken Kaneki with a burning gaze.

……

"Hello, Coach Domoto." At the entrance of the cafeteria, Kaneki Ken and Domoto Koichiro stood side by side. "May I ask who you are looking for this time?"

"Kaneki-san, do you know about Mineo High School?" Domoto Koichiro did not get straight to the point.

"I've probably heard of it." Kaneki Ken said calmly, "It's one of the only two top schools in Japan, along with Rakuzan High School. The IH and Winter Cup championships have been held alternately between the two schools for the past ten years."

"Since you know, I won't hide it anymore." Domoto Koichiro said excitedly, "On behalf of Fenghuang High School, I formally invite you to join."

"Huh?" Kaneki Ken was a little confused.

"! That's Mineou High School's head coach, Domoto Koichiro!" In the cafeteria, Aomine Daiki looked at the two people who were talking at the cafeteria entrance, his eyes almost popped out, "Coach Domoto is here to see Kaneki?"

"Mineo High School?" Murasakibara Atsushi looked at Aomine Daiki with some doubt, "Is it very famous?"

"No, you don't even know about Fenghuang High School?" Qingfeng Daiki was shocked, "That's a unique and powerful school!"

"Since they are a wealthy family, isn't it normal for them to come to see Yanzi?" Murasakibara Atsushi cleaned up the dishes in front of him nonchalantly, "After all, Yanzi is so strong."

"But Kaneki is only a first-year..." Aomine Daiki retorted somewhat unconvinced.

"Kaneki's talent is absolute, Daiki." Akashi Seijuro looked at Kaneki Ken's back with cold eyes, "The winner will always be stronger. It is normal for the powerful Kaneki to be pursued by others."
