Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Seeing Hirono's smiling face, Kise and Aomine's expressions changed instantly, their pupils inexplicably contracted, and they felt a chill run down their spines.

The temple fair in Dongshan?

Having just returned, Kagami was unfamiliar with the Higashiyama temple fair, so he walked over to Ueno and asked curiously, "Higashiyama temple fair? What's that?"

Looking at Vulcan, Ueno pondered for a moment, but he was also unsure.

"I don't know either."

His predecessor was a basketball fanatic who was basically uninterested in anything outside of basketball, and as a time traveler, he was even less likely to know that.

Ueno had barely finished speaking.

Qingfeng spoke up from the side, but his expression was rather serious.

"Dongshan is about 20 kilometers away from here."

"Nani?"

Kagami and Ueno were shocked when they saw Aomine.

Twenty kilometers, what does that mean?

That's 40 kilometers round trip.

They absolutely ran there when the other party mentioned seeing the temple fair in Dongshan.

If they could take a car, seeing Guangye's smiling face, they wouldn't have believed a damn thing.

"Furthermore, the temple fair is located at the top of Dongshan Mountain, and it takes an hour just to take the cable car."

While Kagami and Ueno were still in shock, Kise, standing behind them, also spoke up with a grim expression.

"It takes an hour to ride the cable car?"

With an extremely unpleasant expression, Kagami subconsciously glanced at Hirono, who was smiling broadly. This guy was even more annoying than Reiko.

Despite the grim expressions on everyone's faces, Hirono's smile remained unchanged.

Just then, Coach Sugishige walked over.

Looking at everyone, he suddenly pointed towards Ueno.

"You two will defend."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Two people defending one person?

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Coach Sugimo didn't say anything more and walked out of the basketball court with his hands behind his back.

"I'm going out for a walk, I'll be back later."

"Yes, head coach."

Watching Coach Sugishige's departing figure, Hirono bowed respectfully and spoke.

After Coach Sugishige left.

Looking at everyone, Hirono took a basketball from a basketball hoop next to him.

He patted it, tested its elasticity, and then smiled at Kise and the others who were still somewhat bewildered.

"Who's going to go first?"

After saying that, he looked at Kagami and Ueno and said with a smile.

"If you lose, the reward will be doubled!"

Upon hearing this, Kagami and Ueno exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

They saw unwavering determination in each other's eyes.

Furthermore, they understood what the other party meant.

We must not lose, even if it means death.

Chapter 82 The game begins

Looking at the three players on the basketball court, Kise and the others couldn't help but become serious.

Two defenses against one.

It was already fair to say that they were at a disadvantage offensively, especially with Ueno and Kagami being two very strong players.

Others may not know how strong Kagami is, but Kise, who has fought Kagami, knows very well.

The opponent's burst of power is absolutely top-tier.

And Ueno, needless to say, is even more terrifying in strength.

Now look what's happened, those two have gotten together.

On the basketball court.

Ueno and Kagami adopted a defensive stance, one on the left and one on the right.

Before them stood Daiki Aomine.

After stretching his body slightly, Aomine Daiki's eyes shone brightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He no longer cares about any punishment.

At this moment, he felt pressure, a pressure that made his blood boil and filled him with excitement.

He really liked this feeling.

Only in this way can he become stronger.

Looking at Aomine, Ueno's gaze shifted slightly. After a moment's thought, he took a few steps back. Although he and Kagami were still on opposite sides, they were now positioned one in front of the other.

Sensing Ueno's actions, Kagami was slightly taken aback, but he immediately understood.

Lowering his body slightly, Vulcan's lips curled up. Since that guy was defending from behind, he was full of confidence.

Looking at Qingfeng, Kagami immediately spread his arms to defend himself.

When Ueno took a few steps back, his expression contrasted sharply with the somber mood of Kise and his friends standing by the basketball court.

Qingfeng's eyes grew increasingly excited.

The more pressure he faces, and the stronger his opponents, the more excited he becomes.

Seeing the increasing aura emanating from the three people, Hirono couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

These guys truly live up to Coach Sugishige's reputation; they truly deserve their reputation as monsters.

After glancing at Ueno and the others again, Hirono tossed the basketball toward Aomine, still wearing that same smiling expression.

"Games start."

The words fell.

The basketball flew slowly toward Qingfeng.

He reached out and caught the basketball, feeling it in his hand. Aomine gently pressed down on the basketball, and a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Kagami and Ueno in their defensive stances.

"That's what makes it interesting!"

With a simple two dribbles, his gaze focused, and Aomine suddenly lowered his body, dribbling directly towards Kagami, his direction being right in front of Ueno.

Upon seeing this, Vulcan was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he still subconsciously raised his foot to block the other party.

However, as soon as his right foot landed, Vulcan's expression changed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

In that case, he would be blocking Ueno's view.

However, having already blocked the shot, Kagami gritted his teeth and defended Aomine tenaciously, constantly waving his hands in an attempt to intercept the opponent's basketball.

He paused, looking at Kagami and then at Ueno, whose image was mirrored in his. A smile appeared on Aomine's lips, but his gaze suddenly turned icy cold.

With another quick dribble, his speed suddenly exploded, and he continued to break through to Vulcan's right side.

Vulcan could only continue to chase and defend against his opponent.

With a sudden stop, Qingfeng looked at Kagami who was following up to defend him, glanced at the basketball hoop in the distance, his eyes full of confidence. Without the slightest hesitation or pause, he jumped up and shot.

Just as he made his move, a figure suddenly appeared from the side.

Ueno stared intently at the basketball in Aomine's hand, then slammed his right hand down hard on the ball.

Upon seeing Ueno suddenly appear, Aomine's gaze sharpened, and he wanted to quickly retrieve the basketball.

At this moment, Vulcan also caught up, lowering his body and keeping a close eye on Aomine's movements. If Aomine were to collect the ball now, it would definitely be intercepted by the opponent.

While Qingfeng hesitated.

"Oh!"

A loud bang!

The basketball was slapped hard and sent flying.

Watching the basketball being swatted away, Aomine landed, his body swaying slightly.

He turned his gaze back to Ueno and Kagami, who were standing in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.
