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

"By the way, this is your first championship, Fukaya-san, even though you didn't make the Teiko team in your freshman year~"

"Tsk~"

“I’m so envious~”

"The Teiko guy..."

"First grade, second grade, each one is so strong that they look like monsters~"

Mibuchi Reio said this 1.0, and suddenly Fukaya Reiji spoke out of silence: "A 'genius' like you, it's not appropriate to say such things, is it?"

Minoru Reiyo: "..."

genius?

Don't be ridiculous.

"Next time, I will find a way to deal with you and I won't lose to you."

"Ah."

"I……"

"Wait and see."

in front of you.

The fist that Mibuchi Reio suddenly stretched out made Fukaya Reiji stunned for a moment, but after seeing Mibuchi Reio's serious expression, the corners of his mouth seemed to rise faintly.

"What I said before..."

When Mibuchi Reio almost felt that the three-point shot he had put all his effort into had betrayed him, it was Fukaya Reiji's words that pulled him back on track in time, and in the end, he was able to recover with a more determined attitude.

"Thank you very much."

Pa~!

In the words of Reio Mibuchi.

It was the first time that Reiji Fukaya fist-bumped with a player other than Teiko.

even……

It's an opponent.

Chapter 172: At this moment! Hayama Kotaro, swift as thunder!

After the second day of the National Conference.

at last.

The competition entered the third day of the final stage.

morning.

There will be a 4-to-2 semi-finals.

In both halves of the draw, whether they were spectators or players who stayed on the third day to watch the game before returning to school, everyone knew very well that the teams that would advance to the final in the afternoon would definitely be Teiko and Changyuan International.

Teiko Twins.

as well as……

'Thunder Beast' Hayama Kotaro's team.

And this is indeed the case. In the morning's semi-finals, after both sides defeated opponents who were completely no match for them, the final showdown came in the afternoon.

……

Kyoto Second Gymnasium.

in the afternoon.

Teiko vs Changyuan International.

Section 1.

"This year's signature bombardment from Changyuan International is so fast!"

"but……"

"Shigure Akito blocked the shot again!"

"Fight back!"

"So impressive! Just like yesterday when he fought Xianzhen, Teikou used his opponent's best tactics, the same bombardment and counterattack!"

"Changyuan International's defense was also very fast!"

"After all... it's the 'track and field team' led by the nickname 'Thunder Beast'."

Teiko defended and counterattacked, Nijimura Shuzo rushed forward, Hayama Kotaro led the defense with a serious face, but facing 26 defenses, Nijimura did not have any fancy moves. While moving, he suddenly hit the ball to Haizaki Shogo who replaced Fukaya Reiji.

next second.

With the wildness of the lion bursting out, without the ball, Nijimura Shuzo rushed through Hayama Kotaro, and at the same time, he blocked the opponent's defense completely from the side and rear with his shoulders.

then……

Knowing that the brat Haizaki definitely wouldn't be able to read his eyes like Shigure could, Nijimura immediately pointed forward, his eyes sweeping over Haizaki Shogo sharply.

Haizaki Shogo: "...!"

Violent maniac!

hateful!

Haizaki, who was originally excited to play in place of his senior, was intimidated by Nijimura and finally handed over the ball reluctantly.

but……

Although it's quite unpleasant.

But from the perspective of the scene, this return ball formed a very "excellent" cooperation.

The pass was not accurate, but when Nijimura started to run wildly, the ball was passed to Nijimura as if he was leading him forward.

In a blink of an eye, he made a beautiful pass and cut.

although……

It all depends on Nijimura's reading of the game and his own adjustments.

"Eh?! Good shot!"

"Haizaki Shogo, making his first start, easily helped Nijimura Shuzo pass the ball past Hayama Kotaro's defense!"

"There's nothing we can do. The other side needs two people ready to double-team Shi Yu Qiu Ren at any time. No one is coming!"

“It’s all about the inside!”

"Whoa!"

"What a fast inside player! Changyuan International, as the bombardment team, probably has the fastest inside player combination. They reacted quickly and both of them were right in front of Nijimura Shuzo!"

"Aerial combat! Is Nijimura going to just force his way in?!!"

Sitting in the stands, Mibuchi Reio shook his head speechlessly: "That guy... will definitely choose the method with the highest success rate. Even if he does it himself, it will probably work..."

really.

Following the words of Reo Mibuchi.

Bang~!

In the air, after a head-on confrontation with the inside duo of Changyuan International, Nijimura Shuzo suddenly pulled the ball while remaining motionless.

Phew~!

pass...

"Oh! That's amazing! Even with two players double-teaming him, he was still able to pass the ball accurately through the gap after the aerial confrontation. What kind of monster confrontation is this? And he still has vision and passing ability?"

"Kurona Shinji got the ball and his position was left open."

"As a center, Kuroname Shinji's skills are enough to support him in mid-range shots near the free throw line, allowing him to easily handle this level of attack!"

Shinji Kuroname shoots!

Teiko bench.

As Teiko's professional shooter, Midorima Shintaro immediately judged that the arc and rotation of the ball were very good the moment he saw the ball being shot.

Will go in.

Swish~!

hit!

Teiko vs Changyuan International.

28: 15.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

Facing the championship that was about to be won, even Akashi on the bench was shouting loudly along with the third-year seniors who were leading the cheering.

Kotaro Hayama looked towards the Teiko bench. His cheerful face, which was not suitable for tension, suddenly smiled and said, "The atmosphere at Teiko is really lively."

"but……"

"Now it's my turn to attack!"

Hearing this, Nijimura Shuzo suddenly noticed the members of Changyuan International who had stopped bombarding.

Hongcun Xiuzao: "..."

Are you giving up the bombardment so soon?

Changyuan International.

It looks like...

He is very confident in Kotaro Hayama's ability.

Phew~!

positional warfare.

The ball was passed to the 45-degree angle on the right, inside the three-point line. The person holding the ball was Kotaro Hayama, and the person responsible for defending the small forward was not Shogo Haizaki, who was also a small forward, but Shuzo Nijimura.

"1v1!"

"Changyuan International gave up the bombardment and suddenly switched to positional warfare!"

"The showdown between Hayama Kotaro and Nijimura Shuzo!"

"coming soon."

"Hayama Kotaro's signature 'super-speed dribble'!"

Minoru Reiyo: "..."

In the audience stands, Mibuchi Reio was watching the duel on the field, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. Why could this guy, Hayama Kotaro, directly fight against Nijimura Shuzo so easily?

And he would be beaten by the first and second year shooters of Teiko other than the Gemini?

That what...

Haizaki?

Let him go up and fight first?

And what about Qingfeng?

No matter how bad it is...

Bring up Reiji Fukaya for me. Isn’t that guy a small forward?

and many more……

That guy Fukaya Reiji didn't start in this game. Could it be because of the match against me?
