Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 8 All-China League
"Not really." Seeing this, Ashu said, "It's mainly because I don't know the members of the school team very well. They don't usually train on the same court as us."

"All I know is that this year our school has several very talented new players who joined the first team as soon as they entered the department and were soon selected for the school team."

Ashu said with some longing.

"Tsk, what's so great about that? I'm also a member of our school's sports team~"

Hearing this, Yicun spoke with some indifference.

"Just wait and see. When the game comes, I will definitely..."

Just as Akutsu was about to continue listening, the guests at a table not far away needed extra food, but Akutsu was too busy to take care of it.

"Please, another serving of sashimi here~"

"Okay, I'll be right there~"

Akutsu responded quickly and started to get busy.

As the date of the All-China League approaches, many unfamiliar basketball teenagers have appeared on the baseball field near Teiko Junior High School.

However, Akutsu didn't take these guys seriously at all and continued to hone his basketball skills at his own pace.

During this period, some minor incidents occurred in the Teiko Junior High School basketball team.

There was a conflict between Haizaki Shogo and Kise Ryota, who were both members of the Second Army. Akutsu was not present at the time, but it was said that the incident was a big deal and it was Akashi who stepped in later to suppress the matter.

Although Kise started playing basketball almost a year earlier because of Akutsu and Aomine's videos, he was still no match for Haizaki Shogo at this time.

Soon, another month passed and it was June.

This month, due to Akutsu's part-time job, the time spent on basketball training has been reduced.

However, even so, Akutsu's dunking ability has reached level 5, which is professional level .

After reaching this level, Akutsu was able to dunk on Murasakibara, who hadn't blossomed yet.

Although this made Murasakibara a little unhappy, Akutsu would always buy her a few gourmet bars afterwards.

As soon as May ended, the atmosphere about the All-China League instantly became hot.

This is especially true for Teiko Junior High School, a strong basketball school that was among the top four last year. The basketball team set winning the championship as their goal early on.

On June 6, Teikou Junior High School welcomed its first opponent, Qingtian Junior High School.

When Akutsu heard the news from Nijimura Shuzo, he was stunned at first, and then he showed a vicious smile.

"Hehehe~"

"What's wrong, Aren? What are you laughing at?" Aomine, who has the best relationship with Akutsu, asked when he saw this.

Although he was also excited about the game, Akutsu's smile was still a little scary.

"Nothing, I just happened to meet someone from Qingtian before, and they seemed to look down on us."

Akutsu briefly talked about what happened during his part-time job, and everyone felt a little unhappy after listening to it.

Time quickly came to the 3rd, the day of the match between Teiko Junior High School and Qingtian Junior High School.

On the bus heading to the competition venue, the team captain, Shuzo Nijimura, announced the starting lineup.

"The starting five are Murasakibara Atsushi, Akashi Seijuro, Midorima Shintaro, Aomine Daiki, and Akutsu Jin."

"Everyone, do your best~" After finishing the list, Nijimura also gave some encouragement.

The few people who heard the name became excited, especially Qingfeng, the fanatical warmonger.

Murasakibara was eating the delicious stick with big mouthfuls, while Midorima was carefully wrapping the bandage on his finger.

Akutsu was thinking about how much experience he could get if he won a game in the All-China League. The All-China League was divided into a group stage and a knockout stage, with a total of eight groups, and six teams in each group.

Each group will first round-robin within the group, and after the game, two teams will advance. A total of 16 teams will start the knockout stage until the final champion is decided.

Last year, Teiko Junior High School was eliminated in the knockout round of the semi-finals.

However, this year, Teiko Junior High School is still the favorite to win the championship because of the almost universally recognized number one power forward in the country - Nijimura Shuzo.

Because it was only the first game within the group, Coach Platinum boldly sent out new players to start.

However, the assistant coach is a little worried about this.

"Is it really okay?"

"Don't worry, they are a group of very capable and talented players. Have confidence in them."

Nijimura Shuzo comforted him.

The basketball junior high school league does have some influence, and there are many reporters who come to the scene to interview and film.

As soon as they saw the Teiko Junior High School bus, many reporters ran over and found Teiko's most famous player at present - Nijimura Shuzo.

"Nijimura-san, many people now think that you are the best power forward in junior high school. What do you think?"

“Is Teiko confident that she can win the championship this year?”

"Excuse me..."

Facing the reporters' siege, the assistant coach stepped out to block them and said, "Everyone wait a moment, let the players warm up first, and I will answer any questions you have."

With the help of the assistant coach, Akutsu and his team entered the competition venue under the leadership of Nijimura Shuzo.

After watching several people change their clothes in the locker room, Nijimura spoke:

"Perform well, senior. I'm already in the third grade this year. Next year's Teiko will depend on you."

Upon hearing this, several people understood that this was Captain Nijimura's last dance in middle school. The miracles that had not yet blossomed still respected this powerful captain and nodded upon hearing this.

Afterwards, everyone went to the competition venue to warm up, and as expected, they met people from Qingtian Middle School.

At first glance, Akutsu saw the guy named Yicun whom he met when he was working part-time.

Of course, the other party also saw him.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way, is there no one at Teikou Middle School? Why are they all newcomers? What's even more outrageous is why they sent a waiter from a sushi restaurant?"

Yicun spoke in a seemingly low voice, but in fact his voice was very loud.

Hearing this, Akutsu looked up instantly and stared at him intently.

Ichimura was frightened by Akutsu's eyes and couldn't help but shrink behind his teammates.

Then he became angry again, "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death with your eyes? Where's your top power forward in the middle school?"

"That's right, where's Nijimura Shuzo? Why isn't he on stage? Is he afraid?"

Other people from Qingtian Middle School also spoke up.

As last year's quarterfinal team, there is nothing to be afraid of when facing the semifinal team Teiko. What's more, this year's Teiko only has one famous guy, Nijimura.

"These bugs are so noisy, I really want to squish them to death~"

Murasakihara said with some displeasure, "Rin, you were talking about them before, right?"

"Ah, yes, the one I met was the one who spoke first."
