Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Ignoring everyone, Haizaki went straight to the last row, and as soon as he sat down, the person opposite him closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Looking at the person in the corner, and at the clothes they were wearing, Shang Jingyi stammered, "This, this guy, is he wearing, is he wearing our team uniform?"

Nodding, Xin also examined him carefully for a moment before saying expressionlessly, "Hmm."

As everyone stared in shock at the person in the corner, the coach slowly walked onto the car. He glanced at the guy in the corner, and Coach Xinhe's face darkened slightly. However, thinking that the game was about to start and he couldn't let it affect everyone, he spoke up to the crowd again.

"Shogo Haizaki, our new team member."

After saying that, he sat down in the passenger seat, closed his eyes to rest, and said he was very sleepy.

The bus then slowly started moving.

Looking at Haizaki in the corner, Ueno was somewhat puzzled, but more than that, she was pleasantly surprised.

However, he was a little curious about how this guy managed to transfer schools and join in just one day.

Or perhaps it was just one night.

.........

Back to last night.

No sooner had he left Tokyo University than Coach Shinka began investigating Haizaki's background.

Looking at the documents in his hand, he remained silent for a moment, and finally drove towards the place he remembered.

In an apartment building.

Looking at the documents handed to him by his old friend, Principal Murakami, dressed in his pajamas, began to read them carefully.

After a moment, Principal Murakami put down the documents in his hand, frowned, and said to Coach Xinhe, "I can try calling, but it's not guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Coach Xinhe's face clearly showed a hint of excitement.

"Okay, anything is fine as long as it's possible."

Murakami picked up his phone and made a call. He glanced at Coach Xinhe, who looked somewhat nervous and expectant, before his gaze fell on the documents on the table.

"Moses, Moses..."

Looking at Murakami on the phone, Coach Xinhe was both anxious and expectant.

The phone call lasted for more than ten minutes.

He hung up amidst the principal's words of gratitude.

Seeing Principal Murakami hang up the phone, Coach Xinhe hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Did they agree or disagree?"

As he spoke, Coach Xinhe frowned again.

If he disagrees, does that mean he has to try to kidnap the person?

Seeing Coach Shinkawa's anxious expression, Murakami couldn't help but laugh; "They agreed, but..."

"But what?"

Looking at Principal Murakami who seemed hesitant to speak, Coach Xinhe asked with some confusion.

"He said this guy is a big problem!"

"That's all right."

"Okay, that's good. They can come and report for duty the day after tomorrow."

No sooner had Principal Murakami finished speaking than Coach Xinhe frowned and asked, "Can't we do it tomorrow?"

Principal Murakami was somewhat speechless.

"Tomorrow is a rest day, and there are no classes, so how can I register?"

"There's a very important match tomorrow, and we need him."

Looking at Coach Shinkawa's serious and earnest expression, Murakami fell into deep thought, and then dialed another phone number.

After making another ten minutes or so on the phone, Principal Murakami hung up and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "All done."

Coach Xinhe looked down at the documents on the table without saying a word, his eyes full of thought.

Just as Principal Murakami was about to ask something, Coach Shinkawa suddenly stood up and said, "No, I have to go find him now."

After saying that, he hurriedly left again.

Principal Murakami gave a wry smile.

Then, what Ueno and the others saw was the scene they witnessed.

Looking at the coach sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, and Haizaki sleeping soundly in the corner, Ueno really wanted to know what had happened to them last night.

Just as Ueno was speculating, Kurumaya Sora asked him curiously, "Ueno, will Haizaki be able to play in today's match?"

Sora Kurumatani admired Haizaki's strength, even though his first impression of Haizaki was that he was somewhat arrogant.

Slightly stunned, Ueno didn't know how to answer the other person's question.

After all, the opposing team was from another school's basketball team yesterday, and they were eliminated.

I participated in their basketball game again today.

That seems like a difficult question to answer.

Most importantly, Haizaki was not on their roster submitted for the summer season.

Therefore, it should not be allowed.

Regarding Kurumi Sora's question, Miya Ryoichi, who was sitting in the front, turned around and spoke to them.

"Normally, it's not possible, because our list of participants has already been submitted."

Upon hearing Captain Miyagi's words, Kurumaya Sora's eyes lit up, and he asked a question.

"Normally speaking? Is there still a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Miyagi thought for a moment, then glanced at Haizaki, who was fast asleep in the corner. He actually wanted Haizaki to go on stage, after all, Haizaki's strength was undeniable.

But after a moment of silence, Miyagi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Since the registration period has already passed, it's basically impossible."

Chapter 44 The Basketball Team in the Stands

Tokyo Gymnasium.

The locker room at Dongda University.

Looking at everyone who had already changed their clothes, Coach Shinkawa glanced at Haizaki, who was dozing off in the corner as soon as he entered the locker room. He began to doubt whether it was a good thing to bring Haizaki into the basketball team.

Shaking his head slightly with a hint of helplessness, Coach Xinhe turned his gaze to the Ueno players, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"Everyone must pay attention during the upcoming match..."

As for Haizaki himself, he can't participate in the later matches anyway, and besides, the old man chatted with him all night last night, so he's incredibly sleepy now.

What else can you do if you don't sleep?

...............

The changing room at Shirorin High School.

As he slowly tied his shoelaces, Vulcan's gaze became somewhat fiery.

The match against Ueno is coming up soon.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Kuroko glanced at the excited-looking Vulcan, but remained quite calm.

Meanwhile, the Hyuga members watched Reiko, who was strategizing, with serious expressions.

Reiko glanced at everyone, her face grave as she flipped through the documents in her hand, repeating the tactical arrangements from the previous night.

"So, as long as we keep Ueno Juri under control, Tokyo University..."

...............

Basketball court number seven.

The venue for the match between Todai High School and Seirin High School in Ueno.

At this moment, quite a few people have already arrived in the audience.

Looking at the Touou group beside him, and noticing Aomine who seemed a little different, Kise couldn't help but ask Momoi, "What's wrong with Aomine?"

Seeing the curious Kise, Momoi smiled slightly, then turned to look at the aloof Aomine and said with a laugh, "The old Aomine is back."

Upon hearing this, Kise's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked toward Aomine, who was sitting to the side with his arms crossed.

Has the old Qingfeng returned?

Meanwhile, Kise and Momoi were talking.

Looking at the bustling audience from the aisle, Chen was also a little curious.

Kaijo? Touou? These guys actually came.

Meanwhile, Murasakibara Atsushi, who was behind him, walked towards Momoi and the others while eating snacks, and lazily raised his hand to greet them.
