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

"too weak."

Akashi walked up and looked at Kise Ryouta. Although he was smiling and was also not tall, Kise felt a lot of pressure.

"As for Kise, none of us are actually suitable. We all have unique styles, which might affect him. If I have to choose..."

"perhaps……"

"Captain Nijimura and Shigure-senpai are the most suitable."

"But it's obvious that the two seniors have never been anyone's instructor, so besides that, it's Tetsuya. Your abilities can be very effective in helping Kise at this stage."

After hearing what Akashi said, Kuroko Tetsu could also feel that Akashi really thought that he was more suitable to be Kise's instructor, and everyone else felt the same.

but……

Huang Lai didn't believe a word of this.

Huang Lai walked forward and compared the height difference between himself and Kuroko Tetsuya. "What do you mean everyone has a unique style? If you are not suitable to teach me, then he is even less suitable. Look..."

"Just the height difference is so huge!"

Akashi Seijuro, who was 170cm tall, glanced at Kise with a smile, "I'll let you know Tetsuya's abilities later. He's the best fit for you right now."

Facing Akashi's gaze, Kise gritted his teeth and muttered:

"Liar."

Kuroko Tetsuya's physical ability and his skill of missing an open basket are so great that even the second team he used to be in seems to be inferior to him. How strong can he be?

Huang Lai felt that this was just an excuse made by these guys who were selected from the first army because they found it troublesome and were unwilling to be his instructors!

But Akashi was not making excuses at all. In his opinion, a player like Kise who has a strong learning ability should develop his own unique style of play like the Generation of Miracles.

That's why he said that no one else is suitable to be Kise's instructor, and Kuroko's unique ability will definitely give Kise plenty of opportunities to receive the ball and attack on the court.

"All right."

"Just be willful this once, Kise."

"remember……"

"This is Teiko."

……

at the same time.

Naoto Sanada's office.

dong dong~

There was a deep knock on the door.

"I'm Nijimura."

"Come in."

Nijimura Shuzo pushed the door open and walked in. "Excuse me."

Naoto Sanada, who was sorting out player information at his desk, pushed the information aside temporarily and raised his head when he heard it was Nijimura.

"..."

When he saw the relaxed smile that suddenly appeared on Nijimura Shuzo's face, Sanada Naoto was stunned for a moment, "Nijimura, what's the matter?"

"Ah."

"It's important."

"I thought about it a lot, but in the end I still think it's better to do this..."

"Both for the basketball department and for myself."

"Please promote Akashi Seijuro to captain."

Upon hearing this, Sanada Naoto paused and frowned, "...Nijimura, do you know what you are saying?"

"no!"

Feeling his words were a bit harsh, Sanada Naoto adjusted his tone, "I don't understand. Although this year's core lineup leans towards the sophomores..."

"But this was all your and Shigure's advice."

"Actually..."

"The only thing that impresses me about your suggestion is that you will come out to support the team in the second half. That's all."

"Now you suddenly say you want to give up the captaincy..."

Naoto Sanada paused.

"Hongcun..."

"to be honest……"

"As the captain of Teiko, no one is better than you."

"Even if it's my own selfish motive, I never imagined that the captain of the Teikou basketball team would be someone else in your final year."

Hear the words.

Nijimura Shuzo lowered his eyes for a moment.

moment.

He thought a lot.

When he was in the first grade, at the same place, he came here again. He was no longer the first grader standing at the door, listening to Nanaki and Izawa-senpai saying that they were going to give up the starting position for him and the 860s.

But he is the captain of Teiko.

A captain who has won the coach's approval.

In the blink of an eye.

Time flies so fast, Nijimura can't help but feel a little emotional.

Naoto Sanada, who was sitting opposite Nijimura, thought that his words had shaken the other party's decision after seeing the change in Nijimura's eyes.

But in the next second.

He suddenly sensed Nijimura Shuzou's aura, the momentum rising from his body, gathering in his eyes and igniting the familiar lion-like wildness...

It was as if the heat was actually burning in Sanada Naoto's eyes!

But that wildness is different from the past!

Especially unrestrained, fierce and wild!

Take it to the next level!

Ferocious!

A lion that chooses its prey!

As Sanada Naoto was dumbfounded, under the impact of Nijimura Shuzo's momentum, a phantom behind him quickly emerged in his mind: a fang bared...

A lion that is extremely hungry!

"Coach Sanada."

"I think this year's Teiko will definitely not lose even without me as captain."

"And from now on, I just want to follow my body's instincts, abandon all my rational thinking, and be willful once again, in my last year of junior high..."

"I want to focus on defeating my last opponent."

“That’s my reason.”

Chapter 208: From now on, I'll leave it to you, Captain Akashi. A unique celebration for new members! (Two in one)

Outside Naoto Sanada's office.

When Nijimura's voice was heard, when Nijimura's unbridled wildness was heard, Shigure Akito, who was leaning against the door, couldn't help but smile.

Compared to the original plot, where Nijimura Shuzo resigned from the captaincy with regret and shame, citing 'My father has been hospitalized since last spring' as the reason, and stating 'If something really happens then... I will drop everything and rush to the hospital even during the game'.

The current Hongcun, who is full of fighting spirit, was almost created by himself.

Ok……

There is a noble feeling of saving a person.

hey~

Inside the office.

Compared to Nijimura's words, perhaps that unbridled wildness was more telling. And the opponent Nijimura was talking about was also very clear. After all, in the current junior high school basketball scene, who could be called a rival by Nijimura...

Only Shiyu Qiuren.

such……

Yeah.

Naoto Sanada closed his eyes at the captain who had created Teiko's "Invincible" record. After a long time, he sighed and reluctantly turned his gaze away from Nijimura Shuzo.

"call……"

"It's exactly the same as last year."

"Hongcun."

"Perhaps this is some kind of inheritance."

"I understand..."

"I'll explain this to Supervisor Platinum for you."

Upon hearing this, Nijimura Shuzo bowed deeply to Sanada Naoto. This deep bow was not only for his own willfulness, but also almost equivalent to his early farewell to Teiko Basketball, because his focus from now on would be entirely on the final showdown.

At this time.

Naoto Sanada stood up and walked in front of Shuzo Nijimura.

to be frank.

In front of him.

Whether it is the strict style in daily training, the compliance with the Teiko creed, or the style of suppressing one's offensive desire on the court in pursuit of a higher success rate.

Shuzo Nijimura is undoubtedly the player in Teiko's history who best embodies the principle of "winning is everything."

Thinking of this, Naoto Sanada still felt a little reluctant.

Patted Nijimura Shuzo's shoulder.

"Captain Nijimura, all along..."

"Thanks a lot."

……

After leaving Coach Sanada's office, Nijimura Shuzo was somewhat surprised to see Akashi Seijuro standing with Shigure. After coming to his senses, he asked, "When did you come here?"

"Senior, just now..."

Before Akashi could finish his words, the door that Nijimura had just closed was opened again by Shigure Akito. As he walked in, he turned around and said, "He heard everything~"

"As a declaration of war, it's a bit weak."

"But as a farewell speech."

“It’s so exciting…”

"Very handsome."

"Right? Akagi?"

Akashi Seijuro: "...Yes, senpai."

slap~

Shigure Akito walked into the office and the door closed again. Nijimura and Akashi, who were waiting at the door, stood on both sides of the door somewhat awkwardly.

At this time.
