Kuroko's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

"Please forgive my imprecise wording. Entering the round-robin tournament does not automatically qualify you for the official tournament. Haichang will need to play three more matches in the round-robin tournament to try and qualify for the Western Division's top three. Of course, I believe this is not a problem for Haichang at all."

Due to the schedule, the Western Conference qualifiers were the last to finish, but their round-robin tournament started the earliest of the four conferences.

As expected, after two days, Haichang lived up to expectations, scoring high marks in all three matches and securing first place in the Western Division, thus successfully advancing to the official tournament.

Although Kise and Hikaru had very little interaction during this process, almost none.

However, their performance on the field was by no means ambiguous!

There was no verbal communication, and even eye contact was rare. Yet, Kise and Hikaru seemed to be in perfect harmony, frequently delivering brilliant plays on the court, eliciting screams and shouts from the audience.

"Oh my God! Look what these two people are doing!"

Inside the live broadcast room for the Western Conference round-robin tournament, Popo clutched his head in horror, his right hand trembling as he pointed at the screen, where a goal was being replayed repeatedly.

At a 45-degree angle on the wing, Xiang Yang strolled around with the ball in one hand, showing no intention of directing his teammates. If you disregarded the basketball in his hand, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was just walking around the court.

Suddenly, Xiang Yang gathered the ball, pushed it to the right with both hands as if to pass it, and his quick and neat movement easily attracted the attention of the opposing players.

However, this was just a feint.

Xiang Yang kept his center of gravity unchanged, and even his eyes were fixed on the side, as if he had really passed the ball over. However, his left hand had already hooked the basketball and flicked it towards the top of the basket.

The cameras on site were a beat slow to load until the sound of the rim shattering rang out, at which point the camera focused on the restricted area.

Kise gripped the rim with both hands, swayed slightly in the air to regain his balance, and then landed slowly, leaving the opposing players stunned into disbelief.

Quiet--

With so many people present, not a single one could see what had just happened. Everyone's attention was focused on Xiangyang dribbling the ball on the outside, and no one saw Kise at all.

At that moment, the large screen above the stadium began playing a scene that had been missed by others, but was still very exciting.

Xiangyang leaned to the left, his eyes not looking to the right at all, and made a passing motion while maintaining the sideways posture. Everyone on the scene thought he was going to pass the ball, but only Kise, who had been standing in the right corner with his knees on his hands, read another meaning from Xiangyang.

Without hesitation, Kise immediately made a run. At the same time, Xiangyang finished his fake move and, without hesitation or even looking up to check if Kise was there, made a powerful and quick pass to the top of the basket. Kise leaped up and slammed the ball in with an alley-oop dunk!

Admittedly, in terms of both the spectacle and the difficulty of scoring, this shot wouldn't even rank among the best in Kise's career highlights.

However, it was the terrifying coordination and mutual trust between the two, almost like a telepathic connection, that caused the problem.

The key to the audience's repeated climaxes!

Hearing the deafening cheers from the audience, the director wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled.

This time, the replay played a huge role!

"I can't believe my eyes! Does Xiangyang have eyes in the back of his head? How can he see where Kise is? And this Kise Ryota, is he even human? Does he really not have springs in his legs when he jumps that high? I strongly suggest that the organizers send someone to check him after the competition!"

Bobo's serious-looking吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) instantly drew laughter from the live stream audience. Looking at the screen full of "hahaha," he said again, "By the way, also check Xiangyang, see if those two have walkie-talkies installed in their brains. They're even more twins than twins! This is too much!"

In an instant, the live stream was incredibly popular!

At this moment, a thin-faced man next to Bobo looked at the Kaijo Twins on the screen, who had clearly completed an amazing teamwork but remained silent and uninterrupted. He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, the Kaijo Twins don't seem very happy. Do you think they had a fight? It was the same in the last competition; they didn't communicate at all. Even without the pressure of a competition, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

This man is a newly minted basketball commentator, and this is his third time facing the camera to broadcast a game live.

Listening to this clueless newcomer's illogical remarks, Bobo remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was furious.

That damn incompetent teammate, he's the one who has to carry the team!

Under the table, while stepping on the man's foot, Bobo said, "Hahaha, Teacher Stone, you're so funny."

Turning her head and smiling at Stone, Bobo secretly winked at Stone with the half of her face that was turned away from the camera.

"Their teamwork is so seamless, it's like they were born from the same womb. Teacher Shi, if these two can't get along, I don't believe there's any brotherhood left in this world!"

As he spoke, Bobo clicked his tongue in admiration, as if he were truly a fan of the Kaijo Twins.

Are you kidding me? With all the Haichang fans in the country shipping the Haichang Twins, you're saying they're at odds? Do you think you have too many fans and are just asking for trouble?

Bobo, who watches almost every game of Haichang and praises them after each one, how could he not see the abnormality of the Haichang duo now?

Of course I can tell! But it's one thing to notice, it's another to point it out...

After all, the perspectives of the audience and the commentators are naturally different. Not to mention Popovich, even a newcomer like Stone could see it, but ordinary fans were completely unaware!

This is the advantage brought about by information asymmetry. Bobo doesn't need to be the "smart person" who is the only one who is sober when everyone else is drunk. The job of a blogger has always been to serve the audience and fans.

I'll show you whatever you want to see, even if it's fake, as long as someone buys it...

Whocare?

(Who cares?)

The daily increase in fans has remained consistently high, and the price paid for this is simply turning a blind eye to some of the game commentary. All I can say is...

Please, let's have more of these kinds of good things!

As long as the Kaijo Twins stay together, Bobo can lead all the Kaijo fans to ship this "couple" to the death!

As a blogger and a semi-entertainment industry person, Bobo's bottom line is that she can be this flexible and adaptable!

As for Shi Tou, he could only be said to have suffered from a lack of experience and failed to grasp the key points. However, after Bo Bo's guidance, he finally realized what was going on and gave the camera a smile.

"Teacher Bobo is right, I was just too nervous, hahaha."

"I also believe that the Kaijo Twins will never part, and that Hikaru and Kise will continue to compete together in the Japanese national youth team until graduation, bringing glory to their country!"

"I'm really looking forward to that day!"

Q:

Chapter 153 Qingfeng passes the ball at the start?

"Ryota~"

...

"Ryota? Time to get up. Don't you have a match today?"

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Kise's forehead.

"Ah... Mom, the qualifiers finished yesterday, you can rest today!"

With a muffled groan, Kise didn't even open his eyes, rolled over and covered his face with the blanket, intending to fall into a deep sleep.

However, the next second, a powerful force came and the blanket that Kise was holding in his arms was pulled out by his mother!

Kise: ...

Seriously, are all mothers in the world this quick and efficient when waking their kids up?

Helpless, Kise struggled to open his eyes. Still half-asleep, he vaguely saw his mother fold his blanket and carry him out.

"Even if there's no game today, you're still getting up way too late!"

Without any hesitation, Huang Ma carried the blanket in both hands, walked to the door of Huang Se's room, and skillfully opened the door with a flick of her elbow.

"By the way, even if you don't have any games of your own, there should be other teams playing that you can watch, right?"

"The weather's so nice, don't stay home! Get together with your friends to watch a game or play some sports, that would be great!"

As the door slammed shut, Huang Ma's words before leaving echoed in Huang Se's ears.

Want to go watch the game with some friends...?

Kise grabbed the phone next to his pillow, turned it on while rubbing his hair. Because of his wild sleeping posture, his hair was now a complete mess.

Ignoring the messy messages from a certain Sha and a bunch of other people, Kise clicked on Xiangyang's profile picture on the chat app.

The last time the two chatted was after the round-robin tournament ended yesterday, when they had a heated argument about the issue of "Kise Going to China".

Kise hesitated before opening the chat window with Xiangyang and typing a line of text.

Want to go watch the North Division round-robin tournament this afternoon...?

Tsk! No way!

Kise had just finished typing the message and hadn't even pressed send when he suddenly jolted awake, shaking his head repeatedly as he deleted the message from the chat box that he hadn't yet sent.

If he acts as if nothing happened and invites Xiangyang out to watch the game, wouldn't that be a disguised way of admitting defeat?

In all his years, Kise Ryota has never bowed his head to anyone first!

With a sudden jerk, Kise lay back down on the bed. Since his mother had already pulled the blanket away, he could only grab a pillow and cover his head with it.

At that moment, Kise's phone screen suddenly lit up, indicating that he had received a message. Because this "Kaijo Ace" receives too many messages every day, his phone is always kept on silent.

Through his slits, Kise also saw the light emanating from the phone, but he remained in the position of having his head covered by the pillow, without moving.

He wasn't in the mood to flirt with any of his ragged female friends.

However, now that he's lost his blanket and his mind is full of sunshine, how can Kise possibly fall asleep?

Boom boom boom!

Frustrated, Kise knocked on the bed frame, got up with a disgruntled look, and picked up the phone he had just tossed aside.

Just as Kise was about to randomly pick a lucky girl from the list, he suddenly realized that the person who had just sent him the message was none other than Xiangyang!

With a buzzing sound,

Kise's brain went blank, and his hand unconsciously tapped on the sun's profile picture, looking at the chat box and reading it word by word.

[Get up and watch the game.]

Concise and easy to understand.

These five short words, plus a single punctuation mark, took Kise quite a while to decipher.

Suddenly, Kise leaped! He deftly put on his shoes and socks, grabbed his phone and earrings from the table with one hand, and dashed out of the room like an arrow.

(P.S.: High school students aren't allowed to wear earrings; Kise's earrings were probably clip-on!)

"Mom! I'm going out for a bit! I'll be back tonight!"

In a great hurry, Kise was fixing his hair while calling out loudly to his mother, who was hanging out to dry the quilts in front of the house.

"Wait, Ryota! We'll eat first..."

Before Huang Ma could finish speaking, she felt a gust of wind sweep past her. She opened her mouth, but the last part of her sentence turned into a sigh and was uttered.

"This child... really..."
