Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

"This is Saori Tsukino, she was invited by Coach Shinkawa, and she is now our intern manager."

"Hello, my name is Kyoichi, the second player on the basketball team."

As soon as Ueno finished speaking, Kamiya's eyes lit up. He took a few steps forward from the back seat and came to Tsukino Saori, introducing himself to her in a very serious manner.

Chapter 61 Seniors, we're rooting for you!

Looking at Kamijouichi in front of her, Saori smiled politely at him.

"Hello."

His gaze then slowly fell on the folder in his hand, and he continued to carefully look through the information on it.

Looking at Saori's exquisite appearance and her alluring figure, Kamijouichi wanted to continue speaking.

Just then, a figure slowly boarded the bus.

Coach Shin-ha's face darkened as he looked at Kamijou, who was planning to "harass" the basketball manager he had painstakingly recruited.

"Kyoichi, it seems you had a great time training last night. Let's continue tonight."

After saying that, he smiled gently and nodded to Saori.

Good morning, Saori.

Upon hearing this, Saori quickly greeted Coach Shinkawa.

"Coach Xinhe, good morning."

"Ah."

Coach Shinkawa nodded gently to Saori and then walked towards the passenger seat.

Meanwhile, Shang Jingyi returned to his seat with a pained expression.

More practice?

Do I need to do extra practice again?

Those standing nearby, seeing Shang Jingyi's ugly expression, all suppressed their laughter.

Coach Xinhe always manages to spot any "bad things" the other side does immediately.

This made them admire Kamijou Ichi.

Furthermore, no matter how the coach trains him, Kamijou never learns from his mistakes.

The bus slowly started moving and headed towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.

Sitting in the car, Saori looked at the materials that Coach Shinkawa had given her; these materials were the recent match data of Ueno and his team.

She carefully reviewed the information, knowing she couldn't escape the position of basketball club manager, so Saori spent the last night working overtime studying the rules of basketball.

I also watched a lot of basketball game videos.

As Saori smoothed her hair behind her ear, she suddenly realized that basketball was actually quite interesting.

Sit in the back.

Kamijou glanced cautiously at the instructor sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, and whispered to Ueno in front of him.

"Ueno, did the old man ask you to go out yesterday just to see Saori-san?"

Looking at the cautious Kamijouichi, Ueno nodded and couldn't help but smile.

"Ah."

In just a short while, Senior Shangjing was fully recovered.

"Impossible! Has the old man lost his mind? He actually found us a stunningly beautiful manager?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Kamiya looked at Ueno with disbelief and said.

Looking at Kamiya Ichi, who kept mentioning "old man" all the time, Ueno couldn't help but give a wry smile, somewhat speechless.

Sitting to the side.

Upon hearing Shang Jingyi's words, a meaningful glint flashed in Xin's eyes, and he said expressionlessly, "I remember someone saying something?"

Seeing the meaningful look in the letter, Kamijou Kazuya suddenly remembered something and quickly pretended to be sleepy.

"Ugh, I'm so sleepy!"

As he spoke, he yawned, grabbed a piece of clothing from the side and covered his head, leaned against the car, and fell silent.

Kong was stunned by Shangjing's actions.

Meanwhile, Kimura and Miyako were whispering to each other.

Looking at Kimura, Miyako secretly glanced at Saori sitting in front of him and whispered, "Don't you think Saori looks familiar?"

Kimura nodded in agreement, also finding the other person very familiar.

They racked their brains trying to recall what they had seen, and they clearly remembered seeing her somewhere before.

Just then, Murasame, who was sitting at the very back, suddenly lit up and excitedly patted Miya Ryoichi and Kimura Ri on the shoulders, speaking incoherently.

"It's her, it's her, I know."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Miyako and Kimura looked towards the excited Murasame with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Have you forgotten? That day, people from another school harassed her, and she single-handedly took down five of them. That was her."

"Oh, I remember now."

Following Murasame's reminder, Miyako and the other person immediately realized what was happening and quickly spoke up.

"Yes, yes, it's her, it's definitely her."

After saying that, the three of them looked somewhat fearfully at Saori, who was sitting quietly flipping through documents.

In an instant, the three of them lowered their voices by a considerable number of decibels.

"I remember she was expelled from the Taekwondo club because of that incident, wasn't she?"

"Yeah, it seems like no clubs dare to take her."

"No, I remember going to the swimming club."

Seeing the three people whispering to each other, Shang Jingyi, who was pretending to be asleep, became a little curious and secretly leaned over to speak.

"Captain, what are you talking about?"

Just as Kimura was about to speak, looking at Kamijouichi, she was suddenly covered by Miyako Ryoichi.

Gong Liangyi spoke with a very serious expression.

"As for Saori-san, we seniors wouldn't feel comfortable pursuing her, but what about you guys?"

He winked at Kamijou, as if to say "you know what I mean," and then secretly winked at Kimura and Murasame.

Seeing Miyaji's gaze, the two Murasame instantly understood.

Murasame coughed lightly a few times, then looked at Kyoichi seriously and said, "Kyoichi, to be honest, I have high hopes for you."

"Really? Senior!"

He sat up abruptly, looking excitedly at Murasame, his eyes filled with hope.

Nodding, Kimura, who was standing next to him, also put his arm around Kamiya's neck. Looking into the hopeful look in Kamiya's small eyes, he said with utmost seriousness, "Seniors, I believe in you."

Looking at the encouraging gazes of his three seniors, Shang Jingyi suddenly felt that his spring was about to arrive.

aside.

Sitting in the corner, Haizaki couldn't help but steal a glance at Kamijouichi, who was lost in his own fantasy.

His eyes were full of pity; he had heard everything that Gong Liangyi and the other two had said.

But he just wouldn't say it.

Coach Xinhe noticed the commotion that followed, but didn't say anything.

Coach Shinkawa glanced at Tsukino Saori, who was diligently reviewing the documents, and nodded to himself. He was increasingly satisfied with her and couldn't help but feel glad he had made that decision.

Chapter 62: Another Battle Against Touou High School

Tokyo Gymnasium.

There are approximately thirty high schools in the entire city of Tokyo.

There are approximately twenty universities that have registered for the summer competition.

After all, not all universities have basketball teams and will sign up for the summer tournament.

And after last week's preliminary round.

More than half of the schools have already been eliminated.

Today's competition only involves eight schools.

You could say that today is the regional finals.
