Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

Lin Bei, sitting next to him, leaned back lazily in his chair.

Clutching a mineral water bottle, he laughed so hard his shoulders shook, almost urinating.

"I think this wave of flower arrangement is in the atmosphere."

Lin Bei, never one to shy away from a good show, added insult to injury:

"Holding Captain Akagi's photo there definitely has the effect of keeping things in check."

"Look, the Buri fighter on the other side has turned green."

Everyone turned to look.

Sure enough, it was the rest area of ​​Buri High School.

Several team members were looking at them in horror, their eyes as if they were looking at a group of perverts.

In their eyes, the entire group from Shohoku was a bunch of villains.

Sakuragi, the bald and fierce-looking boy; Miyagi, the delinquent; and Mitsui, the former gang leader.

And then there's Lin Bei, the "tyrant" who, though always smiling, always gives off a feeling he might explode at any moment...

Now they've even put up a "funeral photo"?

Is this some kind of yakuza organization's blood oath ceremony?

……

The atmosphere in the stands was already electric.

As the biggest dark horse in this county tournament, Shohoku's current status is vastly different from what it used to be.

"Shohoku! Shohoku!"

"Crush Buri! Dominate the entire country!"

Cheers surged in like a tsunami.

There were even quite a few girls holding up pink banners that read "Rukawa Kaede Fan Club" and "Linbei Supporters Club," which stood out amidst the shouts of a group of grown men.

In the press box, Aida Yayoi's pen flew across the paper, her expression solemn.

"Boss, this competition is pretty much a foregone conclusion, isn't it?"

"Wu-Zato is the bottom of the top four, and Shohoku even beat Hainan. Isn't this match just a formality?"

Nakamura, fiddling with the camera, looked somewhat puzzled.

"No, Nakamura, that's too narrow-minded."

"The significance of this match is 'coronation'."

Aida Yayoi pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold glint:

She drew a heavy circle on her notebook.

"Shohoku has two wins and no losses, with 4 points."

"Both Hainan and Lingnan have one win and one loss, accumulating 3 points."

"If Shohoku wins this game, they will reach 6 points and win all three games."

"Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's match between Hainan and Ryonan, Shohoku will have already secured the championship!"

"This is Shohoku's final battle to dominate Kanagawa!"

"I see!"

"So today is the coronation ceremony of the Shohoku Dynasty?!"

Nakamura suddenly realized what was happening and excitedly raised his camera to point it at the audience.

"That's right."

Aida Yayoi looked at the figure in the red jersey on the sidelines, her eyes filled with complex emotions:

"The dynasty in Kanagawa has changed."

……

Buri High School rest area.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.

Coach Buri wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, which he couldn't stop.

Seeing his teammates looking like they had lost their parents, he felt as bitter as if he had swallowed two pounds of bitter herbs.

But he needs a shot of adrenaline.

"All of you, raise your heads!"

The coach let out a roar, trying to wake these ostriches who were playing dead:

"They've already lost before even building momentum?"

"Shohoku are high school students, not Godzilla!"

"They were just incredibly lucky to win against Hainan!"

"Now that Akagi Takenori is out of the picture, their inside network is completely exposed! It's a cash cow!"

"Even if qualification is hopeless, we can't let them get nothing!"

"Even for the sake of a man's dignity, you have to bite off a piece of flesh!"

"Did you hear that!"

"Oh……"

The Buri team members responded sparsely, their voices barely audible, like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

dignity?

Looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi across from him, who was using his bald head to reflect light, trying to blind his opponent.

And then there's Lin Bei, the "tyrant" who slaughtered everyone in the Hainan battle and is now looking on with a mocking expression.

This is a battle from a completely different dimension!

"beep--!"

The referee blew the whistle, and the game began.

When Shohoku's starting lineup was announced, the entire stadium erupted in uproar.

There is no Rukawa Kaede.

Lin Bei is not there.

There wasn't even Akagi Takenori.

Standing on the field were Ryota Miyagi, Hisashi Mitsui, Hanamichi Sakuragi, Satoru Kakuta, and Yasuharu Yasuda.

"What do you mean?"

"Is Shohoku looking down on us?"

"Three starters with two substitutes?"

"Are they treating Buri like a robot?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Coach Wu Li's eyes gleamed, as if he had grasped at a lifeline:

"An opportunity! They've gotten too cocky!"

"Now's the time to break through their defenses! Let's teach them a lesson!"

However, reality is often far more brutal than ideals.

It even had barbs and slapped him hard.

The game had only been going on for five minutes.

The scoreboard read 28:16.

Shohoku is leading by 12 points.

"So fast..."

Buri's point guard was about to explode.

Looking at the short figure that darted around like lightning, he was filled with despair.

After Miyagi Ryota intercepted the ball, he did not rush into a fast break.

He held up one finger, a wicked smile playing on his lips, his eyes gleaming with mockery:

"Take it easy, don't rush."

"Let the basketball fly for a while."

Then, just as the other side thought he was about to launch a positional attack and relaxed their guard slightly, Miyagi flicked his wrist.

The basketball seemed to have eyes, whizzing through the crotches of two defenders in Buri and flying straight to the basket.

There, a red bald head shines like a lighthouse.

"The True Teachings of the Gorilla!"

"Genius Slam Dunk!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi catches the ball.

There were no extra feints to be made against Buri's center forward.

Jump right away!

His terrifying jumping ability instantly established absolute dominance in the airspace known as the "restricted zone".

Buri's center attempted a block.

But to his despair, he discovered that even with all his might, he could only barely reach Sakuragi's armpits.

Is this even human?!

"Clang!"

Sakuragi's one-handed dunk was simple, brutal, and unreasonable.

"See that, gorilla!"

"This is the power of a genius!"

"You can rest in peace now!"

After landing, he smugly touched his bald head and gave a "V" sign to the photo of Akagi on the sidelines.

"Damn it..."

Coach Wu Li slumped into a chair, holding his head in his hands, completely devastated.

"When did Shohoku become so strong?"

"Is this what they call a substitute lineup?"

"That bald guy... wasn't he just a clueless player who only knew how to grab rebounds?"

"Why is their finishing ability around the basket so ridiculously bad now?"

"Could it be... that their victory over Hainan wasn't just luck?"

"Wasn't it said that Maki Shinichi lost the match because his old leg pain flared up and his legs went weak?"

On the court, Mitsui Hisashi receives the ball on the outside.

Even when surrounded by two people, he strolled around as if he were taking a walk in his own backyard.

"The defense was too loose."

Mitsui's eyes were indifferent.

A simple probing step creates space, followed by a powerful jump.

Her posture was as beautiful as a painting, her wrist moving gently.

The basketball traced a beautiful parabola in the air, like a precisely calculated missile.

"Whoosh!"

The hollow part enters the net, splashing water everywhere.

Three-pointers rained down.

Every ball was like a nail driven into Buri's coffin lid.

The people of Buri felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This isn't about whether we can win or not.

The real question is whether they will be nailed to the pillar of shame and repeatedly humiliated.

"I'm really going to get my head shaved..."

One of the Buri players stared blankly at the scoreboard, his resolve broken.

Aida Yayoi closed her notebook and sighed.

The outcome is decided.

"Buri is doomed to lose, and lose badly."

"Kanagawa is now the domain of Shohoku."
