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

Xiang Yang turned around sharply, and sure enough, it was Akashi Seijuro!

Akashi was washing his hands with his back to the sun. As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he asked, "What's wrong? Do you recognize me?"

Xiangyang swallowed hard and said with a smile, "The famous captain of the Generation of Miracles, Akashi Seijuro?"

Akashi stopped washing his hands, remained silent, and turned to look at Xiang.

Yang has a red pupil in his right eye and a golden pupil in his left eye.

Not only did she dye her hair, but she also wore colored contact lenses, Xiangyang thought to himself. If he said this to Akashi's face, Akashi might explode.

"Hey, why didn't Murasakibara come to participate in today's match?"

Xiangyang tried to ask in a relaxed tone, but to be honest, he was a little nervous. Akashi gave him a strong sense of pressure.

"Why are you asking me if Murasakibara isn't here?"

Akashi lowered his head and wiped his hands, his words still devoid of any emotion, like a cold robot.

Before Xiangyang could speak, Akashi continued, "Murasakibara can't beat you. Yousen is bound to lose today's match."

Xiangyang frowned slightly, but his tone remained relaxed: "Can I take that as a compliment, Mr. Akashi?"

Akashi remained noncommittal, his face expressionless, which was somewhat similar to Kuroko, although Kuroko was much more humane.

"Of course you can. As a mortal, you did a great job."

A mortal? Xiangyang stopped smiling; he seemed to have figured out why Akashi had come today.

"However, this is all you can do. You won't win the championship this year because my next opponent is me. How much help can you provide to Kise by the Winter Cup? You have no room for improvement. I can already see your future."

Akashi's left pupil dilated slightly, and coupled with his unique sense of oppression, Xiangyang felt a little short of breath.

"I didn't expect the captain of the Generation of Miracles to like to talk trash and throw insults before the game. To be honest, it's pretty lame."

Xiangyang patted his shoulder, as if there was something unclean on it.

He walked up to Akashi, looked down at him, and said coldly, "But your trash talk is quite effective, little dwarf."

……

Thank you for your guidance.

The match ended.

113:69 Haichang wins

Kise returned to his seat, wiped the sweat from his face, looked around, and, not seeing Xiangyang, asked in confusion, "Huh? Where did Xiangyang go?"

Kasamatsu also looked around the stadium and replied, "He just told me he had a stomachache and went to the bathroom."

"That guy hasn't already run away home, has he?"

Kise said with dissatisfaction, "To be honest, if we hadn't run into Akashi, Xiangyang might have already gone home."

"Who said I ran away home?"

Xiangyang's offbeat voice came from afar.

"Where did you run off to, Xiao Xiangyang?"

Faced with Kise's question, Xiangyang remained silent for a while before saying, "I went to fight with God."

Kise scoffed, assuming that Hikaru was just bragging again.

That little dwarf is really ruthless; he almost disfigured me…

Xiang Yang muttered to himself, "I never thought that 'danger warning' could be used in this way!"

Just now, in the restroom.

Upon hearing the words "shorty," Akashi's face darkened. He pulled out a pair of scissors from somewhere and quickly stabbed them towards Xiangyang's face.

Xiangyang didn't expect Akashi to pull this stunt. Who would carry scissors around?

Just when Xiangyang thought he was about to splatter Akashi's blood all over him...

Talent: Danger Warning

It has been launched

In an instant, Xiangyang felt as if Akashi's movements had slowed down. Xiangyang immediately tilted his head to dodge Akashi's attack, and then delivered a flying kick to Akashi's abdomen.

Unfortunately, Akashi jumped back a step, thus dodging Xiangyang's attack as well.

"you?"

Akashi's expressionless face showed a hint of confusion. His Heavenly Emperor Eye had predicted that this attack would slash Hiyori's cheek, teaching him a lesson, but Hiyori had dodged it.

Xiangyang touched his face, feeling a bit scared, but his mouth reacted quickly: "What a pity, if you were a little higher, you might have been able to poke me."

Akashi's eyes narrowed; he had always been very sensitive about people talking about his height.

"I'll let you off this time as a reward for dodging that attack. But when the competition comes, I'll make you kneel before me."

Chapter 54 Against Akashi's Noble Phantasm

"Of the five players starting for Los Angeles, three are the five players without a title, and the other is from the Generation of Miracles."

Inside the Kaijo Basketball Arena, Takeuchi solemnly gave his players a final pep talk.

"First of all, there is their shooting guard, Reo Mibuchi, one of the five champions without a title, known as 'Yasha'. He has an excellent three-point shooting ability and was considered to have the most standard shooting form during his junior high school years."

Kasamatsu frowned slightly. A shooting guard was his opponent.

"Hayama Kotaro, Rakuzan's small forward, one of the 'Thunder Beasts' of the Uncrowned Five, his speed is very fast. Kise, are you okay?"

In response to Takeuchi's question, Kise confidently gave a thumbs-up and replied, "Of course! I will resolve this as soon as possible and then step up to lead the team."

Finally, I don't have to face the strongest opponent anymore! Kise secretly rejoiced.

"Center, Netakeya Eikichi, one of the five champions without a crown, is known for his exceptional physical talent. He was hailed as the best center after Murasakibara during his junior high school years."

Kojue snorted loudly, excitedly pounding his chest and roaring. Ever since his crushing victory over Yangquan, his confidence had soared. He couldn't wait to face the Five Generals.

"Dai Qianxun... This player doesn't have any outstanding records, but to be a starter for Luoshan, his strength should not be underestimated. Observe him closely during the game and be careful. His position is power forward."

Takeuchi tapped the tactical board but found no information about Dai Chihiro.

Xiangyang touched his nose and said, "That guy is probably a substitute for Kuroko, he also does things by having a low profile."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Kise couldn't help but ask, "Little Xiangyang, what do you mean? Is there someone like Kuroko, who is so special?"

Xiang Yang glanced at him and said slowly, "It's not something he was born with, but rather something that Akashi discovered. Anyway, just treat him like a hater when you're fighting."

If you don't inform your teammates before the game, you'll suffer a great loss if you run into that guy.

Takeuchi nodded, not curious about how Xiangyang knew, and pondered, "Finally, the main controller and captain of Rakuzan, who is also the captain of the Generation of Miracles—Akashi Seijuro."

At this point, Takeuchi looked up at Hikari, his eyes filled with seriousness.

"Are you okay? Defending against guys like that."

It's no wonder Takeuchi is worried; the Generation of Miracles are all too terrifying. And this is the captain of the Generation of Miracles? Just hearing that is frightening. Letting the defensively weak Hikaru defend? It feels like turning on a light in the toilet.

Having played together for so long, they had figured out Xiangyang's defense long ago. Aside from the strange pressure he exerted on defense (pulling up his pants to defend), Xiangyang only had one gamble left on the defensive end: steals.

After struggling internally for a while, Kise couldn't help but say, "How about I go guard Akatsuki?" Although he really wanted to see Hikaru suffer, compared to the team's victory, this little thing was really dispensable.

Xiang Yang shook his head and refused. He was somewhat helpless. There was nothing he could do; he couldn't defend against any of those guys from Luoshan.

Hayama and Reo don't seem like opponents who would be scared off by him just by pulling up his pants.

Needless to say, Genwu

182cm defending against 200cm or taller? That's unrealistic. The only one who seems like a pushover is Dai Qianxun, but he's a power forward. In terms of playing style, Xiang Yang can defend him without any problems, but there aren't any skinny or short power forwards. Even if Dai Qianxun's playing style is a bit soft, he's definitely not an opponent that Xiang Yang can easily fool.

Since Xiangyang is difficult to defend against, if Kise goes to face Akashi and he goes to face Hayama, it will result in a situation where neither side can win.

Furthermore, there's another very important reason why Xiangyang dared to challenge Akashi...

Just yesterday, Haichang defeated Yangquan.

Congratulations, host, for defeating a generation-level opponent of miracles and gaining a new talent…

Hmm? Murasakibara can get rewards even if he doesn't participate.

Xiang Yang, still feeling a bit shaken after leaving the bathroom, was startled for a moment, then overjoyed. He had been worried that Zi Yuan wouldn't be there and that he wouldn't get a reward for winning against Yang Quan.

"Check out the new talent."

New Talent: Big Beating Little Textbook

When facing an opponent shorter than you, your all-around abilities increase by 10%.

When you face an opponent who is lighter than you, your all-around abilities increase.

The two can be combined.

(Are you ready? Your brother's about to start his backflip.)

New Talent: Dual Point Guard Fast Break Tactics

This can be activated when there are two point guards in the backcourt, increasing the host's understanding of the dual point guard tactic.

(Don't let the inside players get more and more arrogant; the guards are the real powerhouses.)

This…

At this moment, Xiangyang's expression was quite interesting. This was a textbook example of how to beat up a child, and it was almost as if he was directly telling him, "It's against Akashi's Noble Phantasm."

It's worth noting that Xiang Yang, at 182cm and 140kg, is considered tall by most people, but in the national tournament, you practically can't find a starting point guard who's "smaller" than him on any team. Coincidentally, Akashi is one of them…

With this as his foundation, that's why Xiangyang dared to face Akashi head-on. His strength was only one level weaker than the Generation of Miracles (in Xiangyang's own opinion). If he were to strengthen it by another 20%, even if he couldn't match Akashi, he wouldn't at least be crushed.

"Kasamatsu-senpai, I have something I want to tell you!"

After Coach Takeuchi finished his speech, he dismissed the team. Xiangyang stopped Kasamatsu, who was about to leave.

"Huh? You have a new tactic? Why didn't you tell me earlier, but had to tell me alone?"

Kasamatsu wondered if Coach Takeuchi would be happy to know that Hikaru had a new tactic.

Xiang Yang waved his hand and explained, "The coach already knows. This tactic only requires the two of us to be able to run. The teammates just need to keep a little distance. Besides, the game is tomorrow. If we practice new tactics now, our minds might get confused during the game."

The core of the dual point guard tactic is that the shooting guard needs to have the speed and playmaking ability of a point guard, and Kasamatsu, who came from the point guard position, just meets this requirement.
