Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Looking towards Captain Hinata, Kagami clenched his fist again. Coach Reiko was right.

We must win today's match!

So even if it's Ueno, I will defeat you!

………………

Basketball court number one.

Tokyo University vs. Seirin.

There were already quite a few spectators in the stands, mostly students from Shiro Rin and Tokyo University, as well as many from other universities and some who wanted to watch the game.

"beep!"

A whistle blew.

The two teams entered the field one after another, and their captains led them in warming up first.

"There are so many people today!"

Jogging along with the group, Shang Jingyi felt his heart was beating unusually fast today. He subconsciously looked around at the people in the stands and found that there seemed to be more people than at previous matches.

"Yes, we've already reached the semi-finals, so naturally more people are watching."

"Yes."

After running two laps around the basketball court and stretching their legs, Ah Liang led everyone in shooting hoops to get a feel for the game.

The warm-up for Shiro Rin's side was similar.

On the sidelines of the basketball court, the referee, Coach Xinhe, and Lizi were asking the starting players questions.

Looking at Aida Riko's youthful face, Coach Shinkawa was somewhat surprised, but even more so, he admired her.

Although they already knew that Shiro Rin's coach was a female student, they were still somewhat surprised when they met her.

"Coach Xinhe, hello, nice to meet you." Upon seeing Coach Xinhe, Aida Riko bowed respectfully first.

"Coach Lizi, hello to you too, please give me your guidance." Coach Xinhe also bowed slightly in response.

He didn't actually need to respond; a nod would have sufficed, given his qualifications.

But he admired the other side, saying that it was no easy feat for a female student to lead a team to this point, and the hard work behind it was something that ordinary people could not know.

It's not easy even for a male coach, let alone a female student.

Therefore, he has placed this coach named Shiro Rin, named Aida Riko, on an equal footing.

"beep!"

"Game start."

As the whistle blew again, the match between Tokyo University and Jōrin began.

…………

The stands above.

Kise plopped down next to Aofeng and greeted him with a smile, "Little Aofeng."

Qingfeng ignored Kise and focused intently on the basketball game.

"What is that?" Seeing this, Kise shrugged helplessly, then smiled at Momoi next to Aofeng and said, "Momo, it's been a long time."

"Ah."

Momoi gave a cold reply, her gaze fixed on the guy with sky-blue hair on the basketball court.

"Women are such terrifying creatures." Touching his nose, Huang Lai could clearly sense that Momoi was angry with him, probably because he had lied to her last time.

I never expected Momoi to hold a grudge for so long.

"Akashi and the others are here too?" Kise looked around the stands and saw Akashi and Murasakibara Atsushi on the opposite side.

(Thank you for the gift, Rainy Summer Solstice! Here's an extra chapter.)

Chapter 134 Attack!

The starting lineup for Shiro Rin is Kagami, Kuroko, Hyuga, Itsuki Shun, and Mitobe.

A combination of light and shadow.

Hinata, the third part.

Ball handler: Izuki Jun.

There's also a center forward, Mitobe.

Right from the start, it was Shiro Rin's starting team that went all out.

the other side.

The first of its kind among universities in Tokyo.

Juri Ueno, Osaka Yagami, Shin, Sora, and Ara.

This can be considered the strongest starting lineup from Tokyo University.

After all, Haizaki is not yet able to play.

Looking at Ueno Juri and the others, Reiko's palms began to sweat with nervousness.

Having already suffered one defeat, they have no way out.

If this weren't a regional tournament, they would have already lost in the previous round.

On the basketball court.

Seeing that everyone had found their opponents, Kong stood there somewhat bewildered, looking around.

Where is my opponent?

He had already circled the basketball court several times, but he still couldn't find his opponent there.

At that moment, the referee blew the whistle.

"beep!"

The referee looked serious, his brow furrowed, clearly displeased.

"Seirin High School, could you please hurry up and bring your number 11 onto the field? The match is about to begin."

"Hello, I'm on the field now." Just as the referee was about to blow the whistle again to remind Shiorin High School, a sky-blue figure slowly raised his right hand ten meters in front of him, looking at him calmly.

And the number on his chest was clearly number eleven.

Kuroko Tetsuya.

"Forehead?"

"What?! When did number 11 come on?"

"I've been looking for ages and I still can't find Number 11. Can...can this guy turn invisible?"

The audience erupted in chaos upon seeing Kuroko raise his hand.

"H-He's already on the field?" The referee looked at number 11, Tetsuya Kuroko, who had raised his hand. He was a little embarrassed and put down the whistle he was about to whistle. He was even more curious about how the other player could appear and disappear so mysteriously.

"Number 11, found you." Sora's eyes lit up as he looked at Kuroko Tetsuya, and he quickly stepped forward to follow.

The little incident ended, and the competition began.

The jump ball was played between Yagami Osaka of the University of Tokyo and Kagami Taiga of the Seirin University.

Coach Xinhe has already started training Yagami Osaka's jump ball technique.

After all, Osaka Yagami's height, explosiveness, and keen insight make him very suitable for jump balls.

Holding the basketball up with his left hand, the referee glanced at Vulcan and Osaka, signaling them to get ready.

He then lowered his left hand slightly.

Seeing the referee lower his left hand, Kagami and Yagami subconsciously exchanged a glance.

"beep!"

With a whistle, the basketball was tossed up by the referee.

As the basketball soared high into the air, everyone on the basketball court couldn't help but freeze in shock.

Kagami and Yagami instinctively bent their knees, their eyes fixed on the basketball in mid-air, seemingly forgetting to breathe, ready to jump and grab the ball at any moment.

As the basketball slowly rises to its highest point, and then descends in an instant...

Everyone's breath caught in their throat.

At that moment, Kagami and Yagami jumped up almost simultaneously.

"attack!"

A roar shook the entire quiet basketball court.

All eyes turned to Vulcan, who was now holding a basketball.

After roaring, Kagami made a long pass, and the basketball flew straight towards Hyuga, who had run out of position.
