Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

It can be said that they felt very secure with Ueno in charge.

At this moment, Ueno has become a pillar of the University of Tokyo!

…………

Standing by the basketball court, looking at Ueno, Coach Shinkawa gradually smiled.

Actually, he had wanted to hand over the captaincy to Ueno for a long time.

However, removing Ah Liang from his captaincy without any reason is simply unreasonable.

Fortunately, it happened just last night.

Ah Liang approached him privately and resigned from his position as team leader, citing his heavy academic workload, upcoming graduation, and numerous exams as reasons.

He knew why the other party did this.

However, because the competition was imminent, he accepted the other party's resignation.

However, it was not announced immediately.

Instead, they planned to announce it after the competition ended.

…………

Suddenly, the sound of drumming rang out from the audience!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Go, Dongda University!

"Dongda will win!"

After Ueno slammed the basketball into the hoop, the University of Tokyo's cheerleaders, led by Saori, started shouting loudly.

Two young men were playing the drums very energetically.

The rousing drumbeats suddenly resounded throughout the basketball court!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Dongda will win!"

The shouts of a group of pretty young girls attracted a lot of attention, especially Saori's beautiful appearance, which made many people stare.

"That cheerleader captain is so pretty!"

"Yes, it really is beautiful!"

"I heard he's the manager of their basketball team?"

"I wonder if I have a boyfriend."

Just as the audience was discussing it.

Suddenly, a deafening drumbeat came from opposite the Dongda cheerleading squad!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drumbeats were even more deafening than those from Dongda University, almost shaking the entire basketball court, and the sound soared into the sky.

Everyone looked subconsciously.

The cheerleading squad from Los Angeles also brought out their large drums to cheer them on.

Furthermore, not only are there three times as many drums as at Tokyo University, but the drum stands are also extra-large, requiring four people to carry them.

"Luoshan, victory is assured!"

"Luoshan, victory is assured!"

Compared to Tokyo University's cheerleading squad of only about thirty people, Rakuzan's cheerleading squad was much more impressive.

The cheers of over a hundred cheerleaders were deafening, even through the television screen.

But Rakuzan was not to be outdone, and under Saori's leadership, they kept shouting.

Before the game even started, the cheerleading squads on both sides were already competing fiercely.

Upon seeing this, the commentator excitedly picked up the microphone.

"To the audience here? And to the viewers watching on TV!"

"The game hasn't even started yet, but the cheerleading squads of the two teams are already competing with each other."

"The deafening drumbeats are truly exhilarating, and the vibrant cheers of youth are even more..."

"........."

On the basketball court.

Listening to the energetic cheers and drumming of the two teams, glancing at their own cheerleading squad and then at the opposing team's, the first-ranked cheerleader from the Beijing team stood behind Xin with some concern.

"Won't this turn into a fight?"

Upon hearing this, Xin gave him a look as if he were an idiot, but remained silent.

Are the cheerleaders fighting?

What are you thinking?

They weren't even sitting together; there was a basketball court between the two cheerleading squads.

Are you suggesting we fly over there to fight?

Xin didn't reply. Looking at the number of his cheerleaders, Shang Jingyi muttered to himself, "We're so few people, won't we be at a disadvantage in a fight?"

“No!” Kimura Ri and Murasame Mae, standing behind Kamijou Ichi, spoke at the same time.

The two of them stretched their arms and looked towards Saori, their faces full of mysterious smiles as they chuckled.

"Our cheerleading team might not necessarily be at a disadvantage."

"What do you mean by that, seniors?" Kamijyo turned to look at Kimura Ri and Murasame Mae, somewhat bewildered.

With such a small number of people, they won't suffer any losses? What exactly does that mean?

"As your senior, I can only tell you one thing: if a real fight breaks out, the people on the other side might not be a match for us." Murasame stroked his chin, his face full of the air of a senior advising a junior, and his tone was full of certainty.

Kimura, acting like a senior looking at a junior, patted Kyoichi on the shoulder, as if to say, "Remember this, what the seniors say makes sense."

"..." Shangjing was completely confused at this moment.

What are these two seniors talking about?

"Seniors, what exactly do you mean?"

"It means that you can't judge a book by its cover."

Kimura and Murasame, acting like seniors, went to Kyoto together.

"Hmm?" Shangjing was even more confused.

Should we not judge things by their appearance?

"Kami Kyōichi, catch the ball! What are you thinking about?" Ah Liang, holding the basketball, looked at Kamijō Ichi, who was standing at the front of the line but was in a daze, and his expression darkened slightly.

"Huh? Yes, yes." Shang Jingyi quickly snapped out of his daze when the captain called out to him.

Chapter 154 Be Quiet

"beep!"

"Game start."

"Please bring your starting lineups onto the field."

The referee blew his whistle and gestured towards the directions of Tokyo University and Rakuzan High School, signaling for the starting players from both sides to come onto the field.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the commentator couldn't help but excitedly begin explaining to everyone.

"Now I'll introduce the starting players for both sides."

"First up is Rakuzan High School, known as the pioneering dynasty!"

"You should know that Luoshan High School is an incredibly strong team that has never missed a WC or IH competition since its inception. They also have the most victories among all the schools, and in the last five years, they have even swept all three major competitions! They are truly deserving of the title of emperors!"

Hearing the commentator's shouts, the Rakuzan High School cheerleaders in the audience immediately began to cheer loudly again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Rakuzan High School! Victory is certain!"

"Rakuzan High School! Victory is certain!"

"Very good, the cheerleading team of Rakuzan High School is really impressive. Now let's introduce the starting lineup of the pioneering emperor."

"First up is their captain, the genius point guard known as the Generation of Miracles, number four, Seijuro Akashi."

"Following behind is their vice-captain, number six, Reo Mibuchi, a genius shooting guard known as one of the Five Uncrowned Generals and nicknamed the Yaksha."

"The third is center forward number eight, one of the five uncrowned generals, nicknamed 'Gangli' (meaning 'strong and resolute') Nebuya Eikichi."

"The fourth one is the number seven small forward, also one of the five uncrowned champions, the Thunder Beast, Hayama Kotaro."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly remarkable! One member of the Generation of Miracles, three members of the Uncrowned Five, it seems that Rakuzan High School is taking this dark horse very seriously. Tokyo University High School, indeed!"

"Alright, now let's continue by introducing the last starting player of Rakuzan High School, Rakuzan's fifth starting player, power forward number five, Dai Qianxun, who is also a very outstanding player."
