Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 81 Secret Weapon vs. Secret Weapon
"Takao, ride faster!"

"Ah Shen, ride faster!"

At a crossroads, two electric three-wheeled carts stopped side by side waiting for the red light.

"Amu?"

"Muji?"

The two people sitting on the cart looked at each other and laughed, it turned out that they were acquaintances.

"Are you going to watch the match between Teiko and Toyama?" they said in unison.

"Ah, yes." Muji Teppei was amused by himself, "We practiced a little late today, and the game was probably halfway through by the time we got to the stadium."

"I don't know how far the game has progressed now..." Mu Shenyi sighed as he looked in the direction of the stadium.

"Speaking of which..." Takao Kazunari took out his cell phone from his pocket, "I subscribed to the basketball program on TV Tokyo. Do you want to watch it?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Muji Teppei took Takao Kazunari's phone and put his big hand on his head. "What's the lock screen password?"

"027149, senior." Takao Kazunari said truthfully.

Muji Tieping unlocked his phone and opened YouTube.

"Kaneki Ken got the ball again!"

"Kaneki Ken passed Rukawa Kaede! Kabaji Shigehiro comes up to help defend!"

"Great shot! Kaneki Ken made a quick stop and fadeaway jump shot!"

The passionate voice of Heihachi Tashiro came from the mobile phone on the sidelines, and the screen was still repeatedly playing the wonderful scene of Kaneki Ken's strong one-on-two fight.

"26:12?" Muji Teppei exclaimed, "Is the gap so big?"

"What?" Maki Shinichi was also surprised and glanced at his watch. "It's only been less than ten minutes since the show started!"

"Drip!"

Just as Maki Shinichi leaned over to watch the game with Muji Teppei, a car horn sounded behind him. It turned out that the traffic light turned from red to green.

"Ride faster, A-shin!" Maki Shinichi couldn't hold back his anxiety. "If it's any later, Kaneki Ken will probably have to go off the field to rest!"

……

"Really? We're no match for them..." Sendoh Akira smiled wryly as he looked at the score on the sidelines. "Although the ace duo of Toyama Junior High School can occasionally score points through piecemeal play, they still can't score continuously. This can't go on..."

"It's not easy for the two of them to achieve what they have now." Hanagata Ryo stared at Kabaji Shigehiro with burning eyes. "I am more surprised that Kabaji Shigehiro could score six points against that Teiko center."

Murasakihara Atsushi himself also thought so. Murasakihara Atsushi was now extremely manic. From childhood to adulthood, except for Kaneki Ken, no one could break through his defense and score continuously.

"Ken, the ball!" Murasakibara Atsushi pushed Kabata Shigehiro behind him with some annoyance, and after blocking the position, he asked Kaneki Ken for the ball.

"Hey, you're really motivated today, Murasakibara. Good job." Kaneki Ken teased and threw the ball into the paint, "Be more alert and don't lose face."

"Do you really have to... make me angry like this?" After catching the ball, Murasakibara Atsushi's eyes were wide open. He didn't care about the safety line anymore. He hit the ball hard and leaned back with force.

"Hmm..." Kabaji Shigehiro groaned, took a step back, and barely withstood Murasakibara Atsushi's first attack.

Seeing that the first attack did not work as usual, Murasakibara Atsushi became more angry and attacked Kabaji Shigehiro's defense even harder. Although Kabaji Shigehiro tried his best to hold on, he was ultimately weaker in strength and was invaded by Murasakibara Atsushi under the basket.

After reaching the basket, Murasakihara Atsushi leaped with all his might, raised one arm to the sky, and was about to smash the ball into the basket while hanging on Kabaji Shigehiro. "Ah ...

"Is this true?! Can you keep up with Murasakibara's bullet speed?!" Nijimura Shuzo on the sidelines stood up in surprise. It was the first time he saw a center who could compete with Murasakibara Atsushi in terms of physique.

"Bang!" After all, Shigehiro Kabaji's strength was still a little bit behind Murasakibara Atsushi, and in the end, Murasakibara Atsushi pushed the ball into the basket.

"Hmph!" After successfully scoring a goal, Murasakibara Atsushi glared at Kabaji Shigehiro fiercely, then turned and ran towards the backcourt.

"pause!"

Seeing that the score was about to widen further, the coach of Toyama Junior High School quickly called a timeout, hoping to interrupt Teiko Junior High School's hot form.

"How's it going, Kaneki?" Shirogane Kozo asked Kaneki Ken as he walked off the field. "How do you feel about playing in the national tournament for the first time?"

"It's okay, just like that." Kaneki Ken sat down on the bench and stretched out a bit bored. "Except that there are more spectators, there's nothing special."

"Haha, I guess so." Shirogane Kozo smiled and patted Kaneki Ken's shoulder, "I plan to let the starter rest for a while, what do you think?"

"I'm fine with either. How about letting Aomine and Murasakibara play for a while while Akashi, Midorima and I take a rest first." Kaneki Ken turned his head and looked at Kuroko Tetsuya who was looking at the field with anticipation. "Let Kuroko play in a while. After all, he is our secret weapon. It would be nice to let him feel the atmosphere of the national competition."

"That's settled then." Bai Jin Kozo nodded slightly and said no more.

"Habachi." On the bench of Toyama Junior High School, Rukawa Kaede drank a lot of water. "We can't go on like this. Look, my teammates have completely lost their fighting spirit..."

"Yes, Rukawa." Kabaji Shigehiro responded in a deep voice, "Do you think now is the time to use that secret weapon?"

"I have no choice..." Rukawa clenched his fist unwillingly, "I originally wanted to save it for the semi-finals or even the finals... but now it's time to gamble everything..."

……

"Is the timeout in progress?" Teppei Muyoshi and Shinichi Maki took their seats with their respective duos on the sidelines.

"28:12... The situation is very serious. We are already so far behind with just over a minute left in the first quarter?" Takao Kazunari held the back of his head calmly, "No wonder Toyama Junior High School called a timeout."

"Those two guys from Toyama Junior High School are not the type to give up easily. I just don't know how they will fight in such an unfavorable situation..." Maki Shinichi crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Rukawa Kaede thoughtfully.

"Beep~Time out!" With the referee's whistle, Shirogane Kozo waved his hand and sent all the substitute players onto the field.

"Are they on the bench?" Teppei Kiyoshi looked at Teikou Junior High School's lineup with interest. "To be able to put Nijimura Shuzo on the bench, the depth of Teikou Junior High School's lineup is really terrifying..."

"What a strong sense of oppression..." Kuroko Tetsuya, who made his debut, swallowed his saliva as he listened to the cheers and shouts coming from the sidelines, "Is this how Kaneki-kun and Aomine-kun play?"

"Don't be nervous, Kuroko." Nijimura Shuzo patted Kuroko Tetsuya's shoulder and comforted him, "Just fight in your usual style, we will cooperate with you."

"Yes! I... I'm not nervous at all!! I'll try my best!" Kuroko Tetsuya said so, but his sudden stuttering and shaking hands and feet betrayed him. With a bang, Kuroko Tetsuya fell to the ground.

"Emmmmmm." Nijimura Shuzo looked at Kuroko Tetsuya who was struggling to get up with a frown on his face, pointed at his nose and said with concern, "You fell and your nose is bleeding, do you want to go downstairs and let the doctor take a look first..."

"Ah? It's okay." After falling, Kuroko Tetsuya felt a lot more relieved. He wiped the blood from his nose with his jersey, took a deep breath, and his expression became resolute.

"Hawaii, it's our turn." Rukawa put down the water bottle in his hand and looked towards the Teiko bench, his tone full of desperation, "Let's go together!"

"Yes, Rukawa." Shigehiro Kabaji slowly stood up, tilted his head, and simply moved his shoulders.

"Those two guys are a little weird..." Kaneki Ken looked at Rukawa and the other guy whose momentum was gradually converging on the field, with a smile on his face. It seemed as if a huge stream of data was flashing in his eyes. "Did something happen that was beyond the prediction of the data? This is interesting."
