Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

call……

Fortunately.

Stop it.

However, she underestimated the sensitivity of the two girls of the same grade who were completely focused on love. When she turned around, she saw them looking at her with admiration.

"Momoi..."

"You are so awesome!"

"Shigure-senpai or something like that, we don't have the courage at all..."

"Wouldn't it be terrible?"

"Um……"

"Although not as cold as Captain Nijimura, but it felt like... during that training match, we beat our opponent so badly, but Shigure-senpai seemed very excited..."

Hearing this, Tao Jing Satsuki blushed a little, but couldn't help but defend Shigure-senpai, "Giving your all to your opponent is a sign of respect..."

"and……"

"If your opponent is clearly inferior to you, but you still give it your all and play seriously, that means you really love basketball, right?"

The girls were chatting animatedly as they walked and talked. One of them was even walking backwards excitedly, completely unaware of the people around her.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, especially when he mentioned one of Teiko's most notable seniors. Then, in the excitement, he stumbled, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.

"Eh?"

The girl who was holding the laundry basket like Taojing was about to drop it when suddenly a beautiful bony hand reached out from behind her to help her hold on.

"Student, please watch the road carefully."

Turn around.

The warm words and smile appeared in the girl's eyes.

She was happy discussing it privately with the players of the basketball team, but when they really came in person, the girl became shy again, especially when the sounds and movements in front of her were intertwined at the same time, which made her blush unbearable.

Akashi Seijuro didn't pay much attention to the girl in front of him. Instead, before leaving, he deliberately looked at the other side, Momoi Satsuki, whose abilities were also favored by senior Shigure.

Then, he nodded.

beside.

Midorima Shintaro also glanced at it.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, the girl who was supported by Akashi covered her face with excitement and shyness after they walked away.

"Lord Akashi..."

"also……"

“That’s great too~”

"He's very handsome, and I heard his family is a very wealthy chaebol~"

Tao Jing Satsuki: "..."

You guys...tell...

Things are changing so fast...

Also, sir... what is that title?

Chapter 124: You who have everything, even if you are arrogant, should at least have self-esteem that is not inferior to that of ordinary people!

In a blink of an eye.

The second round of the Tokyo qualifiers.

opponent……

Old friend, Xingrong Middle School.

It was during that freshman year that Shigure Akito scored 27 points in a single quarter during a training match. Meanwhile, Rainbow Village also accomplished a similar feat with another team, which led to two of Teiko's seniors, Nanagi Asahi and Izawa Sho, deciding to... find Assistant Coach Sanada and give up their positions the next day.

It was a scene that Nijimura witnessed by coincidence and was quite touching.

Shi Yu Qiu Ren was also very impressed.

It is worth mentioning that……

last year.

Also in the second round.

The unlucky Xingrong Middle School ran into Teiko in the national middle school preliminaries.

And this year, as fate would have it, the situation is exactly the same.

The only difference is the people on the field. With the departure of the third-year players of Xingrong last year, everything has changed completely.

Coach Platinum was not present in this game. Assistant coach Sanada personally confirmed the overwhelming strength gap between the starting lineup with the twin stars and the other teams after the first round.

In contrast to the first round, at the beginning of this game, he fielded a lineup of 1 starter and 4 substitutes, while the rest of the starters were kept until the end of the second half.

in this way……

Firstly, they can observe the strength of the first-year players in the bench lineup without breaking the opponent's mentality or exaggerating the lead.

Secondly...

If it were in the past, he would never have had such an idea.

But this year...

Naoto Sanada glanced at Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo on the bench and thought, let the opponents, who are also junior high school students, play half the game.

Courtside.

Murasakihara Atsushi.

Aomine Daiki.

Fukaya Reiji.

Midorima Shintaro.

Akashi Seijuro.

Five players started the game, and the only one left behind was the Class 943 player, who was sitting on the bench at Class 943, being suppressed by Nijimura, with a gloomy and unhappy look on his face.

Shigure Akito looked at Huizaki who was afraid to say anything and found it funny. He patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't be angry."

"I'm only substituting you because of a position conflict."

"Besides, you'll be playing in the second half with Nijimura and me. So, are you suddenly in the starting lineup?"

Haizaki Shogo: "!?"

like……

Right?

snort!

That's right!

So what if that black idiot started the game? Everyone knows that’s not the real starting lineup!

Hongcun Xiuzao: "..."

This guy……

Is it so easy to fool?

……

On the field.

Even if they hadn't watched the first round of the game, Xingrong Middle School knew too well how powerful Teikou was due to historical reasons. What's more, the terrifying level of Teikou's performance in the first round had already been widely circulated.

therefore.

Facing the Teiko freshmen who started today, Xingrong Middle School didn't have any hope of luck. They focused on defensive tightness in the paint and deployed their strongest defensive players on the perimeter, with help defenders nearby...

Specifically focusing on the only 'real starter' on the field.

Second year, No. 7 Fukaya Reiji.

Obvious.

Xingrong Middle School decided to start with defense.

It’s not that they don’t want to compete with the opponent’s first-year lineup in offense, but the strength of Xingrong Middle School this year has declined compared to last year, and they are simply not allowed to do so.

however……

As the game begins.

Coach Xingrong discovered.

Not only the offense, but the defense is also unsustainable.

As the only senior on the field, Coach Sanada intended to use Reiji Fukaya as a stabilizing force on the field to provide guidance on the field and to address the mistakes and errors that the first-year players might make at certain times due to their lack of experience.

But as they fought...

Everyone noticed that Fukaya Reiji suddenly became the core of the attack.

Fukaya Reiji was waiting for an opportunity outside the three-point line. Every time he got the ball, he had to face the opponent's small forward and the power forward who would come to double-team him.

He had never experienced such treatment when he was in the same place with Nijimura, Shigure and the others.

But it is obvious that although Xingrong Middle School has overestimated the value of Teiko's "real starter" as much as possible, they did not expect that the player who was only good at catching the ball and shooting in the video would have such power.

Akashi glanced at Fukaya-senpai.

"..."

Very useful.

All of Fukaya's skills are concentrated in the moment of catching the ball.

The technique he uses to handle the ball at the moment of receiving it allows him to actively turn his teammate's pass into a part of his offense in the first place, and to create space with various technical moves such as disguised moves, retreats, fake moves, etc. that are completed almost simultaneously with receiving the ball.

Then, facing the second line of defense, no matter it is a breakthrough or a pass, because the "power" is concentrated and "exploded" in the moment of receiving the ball, the follow-up will be completed in a very short time, without wasting any time.

Therefore, the team's offensive flow is extremely fast and smooth.

It also makes Akashi, the point guard.

Can't help but look for each other.

then……

At the end of the first quarter.

The scores of the two teams.

34-12.

Although Xingrong tried his best to delay the game, he was still outscored by Teiko Junior High School in the first quarter. The main reason was that Teiko, with Reiji Fukaya as the core of the offense, played too smoothly.

and……

That number 7 will never force his way in.

The beating was reasonable!

If there is no double-team, use that unique technique to create space and shoot, and pass the ball when you attract a double-team!

But the root cause is actually a problem...

That acrobatic pass, no matter who it is, what distance, angle, speed, obviously different, Fukaya Reiji can, in the blink of an eye, at the moment of receiving the ball, transform it into various space-opening controls and magical feints that are almost like seeing a phantom.

……

"This year's Teiko..."

"call……"
