Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

"Practicing ball?"

Upon hearing this, the two senior students gave a wry smile, and then one of them glanced at Ueno's tall figure and said, "I really don't know why you came to our school. If it's for studying, that's fine, but if you want to play basketball, you may have chosen the wrong school."

Another senior student chimed in, "In our basketball club, we don't have the concept of 'practice.' If you want to play, here, take your ball and find somewhere to play."

As he spoke, the senior pointed to a corner of the basketball club.

A very old bamboo basketball hoop sat quietly there, with several somewhat deflated basketballs and two air pumps inside.

This made Ueno frown slightly.

Meanwhile, Kurumi Sora remained silent for a moment before slowly walking towards the basketball hoop under the somewhat surprised gazes of the two senior students. He squatted down and wiped the dust off the basketball.

Just as everyone fell silent.

Kurumaya Sora suddenly turned around, holding a deflated basketball in his hand, and excitedly said to Ueno, "Ueno, this basketball is still good, it's just flat."

Looking at Kurumaya Sora's excited expression, Ueno suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and a strange emotion.

He subconsciously smiled at Kurumi Sora.

"Okay, then let's fill it up completely."

Chapter 7 It’s him

The President's Office of the University of Tokyo.

Looking at Shinkawa Toshiyoshi's somewhat worried face, the president of Tokyo University took a puff of his cigarette, smiled helplessly, and asked.

"Still haven't found anyone?"

Xinhe sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "No."

Seeing this, the president of the University of Tokyo, Murakami, did not say anything more. He remained silent for a moment before continuing, "If all else fails, I will have to think of other solutions. Or you could simply become a basketball coach at another school. After all, we can't let your talent go to waste."

As a close friend of over a decade, Murakami understood Shinkawa's ambitions perfectly.

That is to build a championship team from scratch.

In his eyes, the other party also possessed that kind of strength.

As for why the other party was at his school, it was mainly because Murakami wanted his school to have a famous aspect and to enhance the reputation of the University of Tokyo.

So they brought Xinhe into Dongda University to serve as a basketball coach.

However, reality brought some disappointment to the two of them.

Putting everything else aside, just in terms of recruitment, Xinhe went to many places, but only managed to recruit one person who was novel.

Thinking of this, Shinkawa suddenly spoke up to the president of Tokyo University, Murakami, saying, "That Kurumiya Sora's family situation is a bit special. I hope you can help him out."

Upon hearing this, Murakami nodded.

"Well, I'll pay attention."

After chatting for a while, Xinhe checked the time, stood up, looked at Murakami and said, "It's getting late, I should go check on my teammates."

Murakami nodded at first, but then he couldn't help but smile bitterly as he thought of the dilapidated basketball club. "Aren't you really considering changing schools?"

Upon hearing Murakami's words, Shinkawa, who was about to leave the principal's office, paused for a moment before turning to Murakami and saying, "If we can't recruit anyone this year, we'll try again next year!"

After saying that, he left.

As Murakami watched Shinkawa leave, he felt a little guilty. After all, Shinkawa had turned down invitations from several well-known universities and had come without hesitation when he received the invitation.

Therefore, seeing his old friend's worried face, Murakami couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards Shinkawa.

He was actually a little confused as to why there wasn't a single famous place in their school.

The basketball court at Dongda University.

Ueno, who was stretching, looked at Kurumaya Sora, who was full of excitement, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Sora, who else lives in your family?"

Upon hearing this, Kurumaya Sora's expression changed noticeably from his initial excitement. He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "My mother and my father, but my father isn't in Tokyo."

After saying that, Kurumaya Sora ended his warm-up early and walked alone toward the basketball hoop with a fully inflated basketball in his hand.

Looking at Kurumaya Sora's retreating figure, Ueno couldn't help but frown.

But after a moment, he sighed helplessly.

There are some things he simply can't control, even if he already knows the plot.

He has also confirmed that Sora Kurumi is likely the male lead in "Ahiru no Sora".

It was also a basketball anime he had watched in his previous life.

At this moment, only Ueno and Kurumaya Sora from the basketball club were practicing on the basketball court.

As for the others, apart from those two senior students, Ueno has never seen the other members of the basketball club.

Looking at the basketball hoop, Ueno tried shooting a few balls.

Nine out of ten shots went in, a 90% goal rate.

It feels pretty good in the hand.

During that holiday, he didn't play much ball, or rather, he barely touched a ball at all.

During his vacation, he mainly focused on improving his physical fitness.

aside.

Looking at the tall Ueno, Kurumaya Sora, seemingly lost in thought, walked over with the ball in his arms, his face full of curiosity.

"Ueno, can you dunk?"

Upon hearing this, Ueno paused for a moment. Kurumaya Sora's words reminded him of his only dunk, which was the game against the Generation of Miracles.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Kurumani Sora and nodded.

"it should be OK!"

As soon as Ueno finished speaking, Kurumaya Sora became excited.

"Really? That's amazing! I want to dunk too, but I know it's impossible."

As he spoke, a hint of melancholy flashed in Kurumi Sora's eyes.

Who among basketball fans wouldn't love a dunk?

Especially when dunking the basketball into the hoop.

Wild! Passionate! Exhilarating!

Seeing Kurumaya Sora looking somewhat dejected, Ueno didn't know how to comfort him.

Seeing that the other person was only 1.6 meters tall, he couldn't very well say, "Don't be discouraged, you can do it too!"

Just as Ueno was wondering how to start the conversation, Kurumatani Sora suddenly looked at him and smiled, "Even though I can't dunk, I'll try my best to pass the ball to you!"

Upon hearing this, Ueno paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"If that's the case, I'll dunk yours too!"

"Then it's settled."

"That's a deal!"

Just as the two were talking, several more people walked into the basketball court, wearing basketball club uniforms.

"We actually managed to hire two people this year?"

"But aren't these two people a bit too tall..."

"One is ridiculously tall, and the other is ridiculously short!"

As they spoke, the group had already walked up to Ueno and Kurumaya Sora.

A person who looked like the captain stepped forward and greeted Ueno and the others.

"Hello, newbies!"

"My name is Miya Ryoichi. I'm a third-year student and the president of the basketball club, as well as the captain of the basketball team."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

“These guys are also in the basketball club, there’s Murasame-mae in the third year, and Kimura-ri.”

After Miyagi finished speaking, Murasame and Kimura greeted Ueno and the others with smiles, "Hello!"

"These two are second-year students, Kamijou Ichi, and Yoshimori Shin!"

"Hello."

"Hello, seniors! I'm a freshman, Kurumi Sora!"

"Ueno Juri."

Seeing Ueno's somewhat exaggerated height, Miyagi couldn't help but step forward and compare his height with Ueno's, finding that Ueno was several centimeters taller.

"Ueno?"

"Yes, Captain."

"how tall are you?"
