This made Shi Yu Qiuren even more excited for the upcoming All-China Tournament.

……

In a blink of an eye.

The day the Tokyo qualifiers begin.

Akito Shigure was at the front of the Teiko team, and in the front was coach Naoto Sanada, who was leading the team in the qualifiers. At this time, everyone had not yet entered the venue and was still in the player tunnel.

As usual, Coach Sanada turned around and formed a circle with his players before stepping onto the battlefield.

"The number one seed in the Tokyo region is naturally a no-brainer!"

"But don't be careless!"

"Then……"

"Don't forget our ultimate goal!"

Following the lead of Coach Sanada and Captain Masaaki Okura extending their hands, all the regular players in this match, including Akito Shigure and Shuzo Nijimura, extended their hands and gathered together!

Ozo Masaaki shouted loudly:

"what!!"

"The goal is..."

Everyone's voices followed!

"National Champion!"

"..."

"National Champion!"

"National Champion!"

This team of aggressive Teiko players all wear the iconic white uniforms.

The strong belief in victory spread from the player tunnel to the ears of all teams, including those at the front who had not yet entered the field and those at the end who had just entered the tunnel.

follow closely.

Set off for the battle.

When Yu Qiuren stepped out of the player tunnel, the incandescent lights of the stadium fell into his eyes.

Ahead...

The sound of basketball.

The sound of sneakers scraping against the floor.

And cheers from various school cheering groups.

All kinds of enthusiastic voices came one after another!

All of this made Shi Yu Qiuren, who had never personally participated in a formal competition of such a scale, feel like he was electrocuted. He had never imagined that there would be so many players flocking to the scene and so many spectators in the stands in just a regional qualifier.

Nijimura Shuzo, who was standing next to him, was only a first-year student after all, and he couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, Nijimura Shuzo suddenly heard Shigure Akito beside him exhale.

Then, a low whisper came into his ears.

"First grade first championship..."

“It starts here.”

……

Nijimura Shuzo could feel it all the time.

Shi Yu Qiuren, a peer of his, had a calmness on the court that seemed to 'not care' about winning.

Compared to victory, this guy sometimes showed an overwhelming hunger for 'opponents', 'situation', 'content' and even 'data', things other than victory.

such as.

In some training games, he would be particularly keen on 'blocking shots'.

Sometimes, although he is not very interested in the training match, once he arrives at the scene, he suddenly becomes excited and scores like crazy, not knowing what the opponent does to pique his interest.

seem……

It's like he'll get something out of it after completing these.

But since joining Teiko, during the time they had been getting along in a barely harmonious way, Nijimura Shuzo had increasingly felt that Shigure Akito's attitude towards 'victory' was...

He was just arrogant, taking 'winning' as a natural byproduct of his pursuit of something else on the court, and then strangely, he kept getting stronger.

Hongcun Xiuzao: "..."

It starts from the moment you realize that you are very strong, from the moment you realize that as long as you work hard and make progress, you will definitely be able to go further.

Wouldn't it be too boring if I were alone?

Nijimura Shuzo glanced at Shigure Akito and looked at his excited expression.

"what……"

It feels a bit refreshing.

The strength of the opponent makes people feel refreshed.

Chapter 051: Those two starting freshmen are the breakthrough point!

On the first day of the Tokyo preliminaries, the audience attendance in the venue was quite high, with more than half of the seats full. At this moment, in the center of the venue, the participating teams from various middle schools in the Tokyo area had all taken to the stage.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is naturally the traditional powerful school that dominates the Tokyo area, Teiko Junior High School.

"The one in the white uniform is Teiko!"

"Captain Okura Masaaki is the best center in the country!"

"This year's core players are basically the same as last year..."

"Eh?"

"Who are the numbers 7 and 8?"

"I'm familiar with Teiko's starting lineup, but I've never seen these two people before."

Suddenly, the tender and clear voice of a pink-haired girl rang out from beside them: "Those two are the first-year starters at Teiko. Number 7 is Shigure Akito, and number 8 is Nijimura Shuzo."

"Starting?"

"Are you kidding me?"

aside.

A dark-skinned, teal-haired boy looked at the pink-haired girl beside him with a puzzled expression. "Starting? Didn't you say before that it was just the first team... the starting selection?"

The pink-haired girl rummaged through her bag and took out a pen and paper to record her thoughts. She said, "That's right, A-da, but things changed a while ago~"

"They have now secured starting positions and their jersey numbers have apparently changed from 12 and 13 to 7 and 8. We should be able to see them start in today's game."

"Isn't it awesome?"

"Although he's only a senior year above you, he's still stronger than A-Da~"

"They both faced junior high school teams and overcame a 20-point deficit in just one quarter. Number 7 Shigure Akito was particularly focused on scoring."

"In that game, he scored nearly 30 points by himself."

"One period~"

The boy called Ah Da pouted and said, "Let me grow a little taller. Then next year, I can do it too!"

Even though he said this stubbornly, his eyes were still full of excitement. Following the number 7 the girl had mentioned earlier, among the crowd of people wearing white Teiko jerseys...

Looking for the figure of number 7.

……

Inside the stadium, the opening ceremony went smoothly. Teiko's captain, Masaaki Okura, took the stage to take the oath on behalf of all the athletes in a very prestigious manner.

Soon, the process was over and the first battle was about to begin.

Teiko is the most popular team in the Tokyo area, so among the several games that will be played at the same time as the opening game, one of them is Teiko Junior High School.

The first game of the first round.

They are about to face Darenduo Junior High School, a team that can only be considered mid-level in the Tokyo area, and is more than one level lower than Teiko.

Judging from the gloomy state of all the players at Darenduo Middle School on the sidelines at this moment, it is obvious that they are very self-aware and know that there is a high probability that this game will be lost in vain.

even so.

There are still some players in Darenduo's team who are eager to fight.

slap~

slap~

Captain Minamitani Hiroyuki clapped his hands vigorously. As everyone looked at him anxiously, he took a deep breath and said loudly, "Even if our opponent is Teiko! We're not completely without a chance!"

talking.

He pointed in Teiko's direction.

He stated the information he had just obtained based on his observations.

"Everyone knows that Teiko's starting lineup last year was #4 Masaaki Okura, #5 Masatoshi Eba, #6 Masahiko Utsumi, #7 Sho Izawa, and #8 Asahi Nanagi."

"But……"
