Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 80 Absolute Victory

"I'm glad you dare to challenge me, but I don't like your arrogance." Kaneki Ken picked up a basketball, closed his eyes and threw the ball into the basket. "On the court, my victory is absolute."

"Warm-up time is over, the game is about to begin, please get ready, starting players of both teams..."

"Warm-up time is over, the game is about to begin, please get ready, starting players of both teams..."

Just when Rukawa was about to say something, the broadcast above the stadium sounded a reminder that the game was about to begin. Rukawa had no choice but to return to Toyama Junior High School's halfcourt. Before leaving, he gave Kaneki Ken a defiant look.

"This guy is quite interesting..." Aomine Daiki walked to Kaneki Ken and looked at Rukawa Kaede's back with excitement, "He actually dared to come over and challenge you. I like it."

"Who said it wasn't?" Kaneki Ken played with the basketball in his hand and smiled meaningfully, "It's your opponent anyway, do you want to try it out?"

"I don't care. Anyway, it's you who's challenging me, not me." Aomine Daiki also smiled, "But if I really fight, I definitely won't lose to him. I've been training very hard during this period."

"Beep beep~ Teiko Junior High School vs. Toyama Junior High School, players from both teams line up!" Just as Kaneki Ken and Aomine Daiki were still chatting, the referee blew the whistle to announce the start of the game.

"Please give me some advice!"

After both sides lined up to salute, Shigehiro Kabaji and Atsushi Murasakihara came to the center line and stood there. The players from both sides also took their positions. As the basketball was thrown high into the air, Shigehiro Kabaji and Atsushi Murasakihara jumped up almost at the same time.

……

"It's worthy of being a national competition. There are more spectators in the first round than in the county competition finals..." In the audience, a tall young man with a hedgehog head and a tall young man with a mushroom head and glasses took their seats leisurely. They were Sendoh Akira and Hanagata Toru.

"Toyama Junior High School is bound to lose this game, but I wonder if Rukawa Kaede and Shigehiro Kabachi can perform well?" Sendoh Akira looked at the ace duo of Toyama Junior High School with interest and asked Hanagata Toru.

"It's hard to say..." Hanagata Toru held his chin with both hands, "To be able to make it to the national competition with only two people, they must have the strength, but facing Teiko Junior High School... I guess it's uncertain."

Amid the chatter of the audience on the sidelines, Murasakibara Atsushi narrowly passed the ball to Akashi Seijuro, and the game officially began.

"Am I seeing things..." Akashi Seijuro thought to himself as he dribbled the ball across half court, "This guy isn't much shorter than Murasakibara in the air!"

You should know that it has been almost three months since the physical examination at the beginning of the school year. Murasakihara Atsushi's height has reached 190 cm, but the Shigehiro Kabaji in front of him is not only comparable to Murasakihara Atsushi in height, but even his jumping and jumping speed are only slightly different from Murasakihara Atsushi.

"There's no need to think about that." Akashi Seijuro shook his head and focused his attention on the defensive player in front of him. "No matter who the opponent is, Teikou will crush them."

"Come on, little guy!" Seeing Akashi Seijuro staring at him, Suwa Masao from Toyama Junior High School shouted as if to cheer himself up.

"Little... shorty?" A trace of barely perceptible anger flashed across Akashi Seijuro's eyes, and he simply accelerated and passed Suwa Masao.

"So fast!" Suwa Masao felt as if a magenta light flashed before his eyes, and Akashi Seijuro disappeared before his eyes.

"Don't even think about shooting!" Seeing his teammate being easily broken through by Akashi Seijuro, Rukawa Kaede hurried forward to provide defense.

"Shoot? Why should I shoot? I'm a point guard." Akashi Seijuro had a playful smile on his face. He casually slammed the ball to the ground with his right hand. The basketball turned into an orange-yellow stream of light and went straight towards Midorima Shintaro who was running in the corner.

"Nice pass!" As soon as Midorima Shintaro stood still, the basketball flew into his hands just right.

"Both the rotation and the power are perfect. I'll never get tired of this kind of ball no matter how many times I receive it!" Midorima Shintaro felt unusually excited. Guided by Akashi Seijuro's pass, he completed the entire shooting action, and the basketball went into the net with a swish.

"Good shot! Midorima Shintaro's positioning was very smart, and Akashi Seijuro's pass was just right!" The commentator Heihachi Tashiro was also impressed by this wonderful pass, "Teiko Junior High School made a wonderful cooperation at the beginning of the game! Although Akashi Seijuro was the first time to play as a starter, his cooperation with his teammates was not awkward at all..." "Ball!" Seeing that the team's rigorously trained defensive formation was easily penetrated by Teiko Junior High School, Rukawa Kaede hurriedly asked Kabachi Shigehiro for the ball at the baseline, and rushed to the frontcourt like an arrow, trying to regain face for the team.

Rukawa's fast break plan was a good one, but the reality was not as expected. As soon as Rukawa crossed half court, Aomine Daiki appeared in front of him as if he had teleported.

"Damn it..." Rukawa gritted his teeth in annoyance and had to slow down and be careful about Aomine Daiki's defense.

"No, you need more practice with your speed." Aomine Daiki's words may have been sincere, but they sounded like noisy sarcasm to Rukawa Kaede, "If you can't even get rid of me, I advise you to give up challenging Kaneki..."

"Stop talking too much!" Rukawa twitched his lips and glanced at Shigehiro Kabata obscurely. He slowly moved to the right at a 45-degree angle with the ball. The sound of the basketball hitting the ground hit Aomine Daiki's heart like drumbeats.

"Here it comes!" Aomine Daiki felt the air in front of him suddenly become tense. Rukawa Kaede shook Aomine Daiki's center of gravity with a Buddha bow, and then his body suddenly became shorter, and he rushed to the inside like a cheetah hunting. Aomine Daiki was about to chase, but was blocked by the large body of Kabaji Shigehiro.

"Damn it, I don't know until I really touch him. This guy's strength and oppression are probably no less than Murasakibara's!" Aomine Daiki looked up at Karaji Shigehiro's slightly honest face, and a trace of cold sweat slid down his temples.

At this split second, Rukawa dribbled the ball backwards, avoiding Midorima Shintaro's hand who was about to steal the ball, and jumped up decisively.

"Mada Mada!" Murasakibara Atsushi stretched out his long legs and pounced on Rukawa's face in one step, but Rukawa was not panicked at all. He increased the strength of his shot. The basketball quickly passed over Murasakibara Atsushi's fingertips and hit the backboard. Rukawa also took the opportunity to jump up, ready to catch the rebounding basketball.

"Innocent."

A cold voice accompanied by a golden flash passed by Rukawa's ears. Rukawa thought to himself that something was wrong. The next second, he felt his hands were empty. The basketball that was supposed to be in his hands appeared in Kaneki Ken's hands.

Rukawa Kaede's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and ran to the backcourt in frustration. He didn't expect that his singles match, which he was sure to win, would be vulnerable in front of Teiko.

Ken Kaneki did not take the opportunity to launch a fast break, but waited until all the students from Toyama Junior High School were in position before slowly dribbling the ball to the frontcourt. He waved his hand and made an Iso gesture to signal everyone to move away, then smiled and waved at Shigehiro Kabachi and Rukawa Kaede.

"You guys come on together!" Kaneki Ken's hands moved with increasing force, and the roar of the basketball hitting the ground became louder and louder. "I'm in a hurry!"

As Kaneki Ken finished speaking, Rukawa Kaede and Kabaji Shigehiro felt that the world in front of them suddenly darkened, and a twelve-force gale seemed to blow towards them. Kaneki Ken's figure passed between the two of them like golden lightning in the dark night sky, and then he took a step inside the free throw line, kicked his feet hard, and jumped up.

Shigehiro Kabaji shouted loudly, and then Kaneki Ken jumped into the air, stretched out his arms to block the basketball in Kaneki Ken's hand, trying to block the ball.

"Very good..." Kaneki Ken's eyes flashed with surprise, "Although it is indeed a little slower than Yukari's, and the jumping height is not as high, but it is still amazing to be able to do this..."

While thinking, Kaneki Ken changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and then deliberately moved towards the left hand of Shigehiro Kabaji who was blocking the ball.

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

Shigehiro Kabaji's defense failed to block Kaneki Ken's dunk. Not only was he dunked in the face by Kaneki Ken, but he also paid for a foul.

"Beep~ Blue No. 9, defensive foul, one free throw!" The referee's whistle sounded at the right time, and the atmosphere in the stadium reached a climax at this time.

"Thank you for your hard work." Kaneki Ken smiled and turned to look at the two people defending him, "But on the court, my victory is absolute."
